Here is an awesome handle to get your logging operation back up and running! This straight single bit handle is used in conjunction with a full sized single bit head to create a versatile part of a fellers timber harvesting tool kit! It's great at being used in tight spaces and for pounding wedges. Personally I love it for bucking and splitting fire wood. The short straight handle gives you the ability to generate a lot of force very quickly and very precisely.
This handle is on the thicker side to withstand the beating a fallers axe takes. It's designed this way on purpose. If you feel it should be thinner, this handle is shaped in a way that it can have material removed to match your desired shape.
This is an incredibly high quality, hand picked axe handle made from good ole American Hickory!
The dimensions of the eyes are: ~ 2 1/2" x 3/4"
Shoulder is a full 1" wide.
Every axe handle will come with a proper wedge!

Customer Reviews
Solid piece of Hickory that is easy to hang onto with a 4lb axe head attached. Outstanding job pounding wedges and splitting firewood. So happy.
My handle came with unimpeachable wood - clear and white with fantastic grain orientation (I ordered A grade).
The only demerit I have is that the shoulder upon which the axe head seats is minimally sized. My head ended up having an eye that ran large and resulted in a hang that is almost certainly functional but which leaves a portion of the eye unsupported by the handle. YMMV depending on eye size.
Perfect fit for the 5# council wedge banger! Has held up to the abuse, love it!
Every handle I got from whiskey river has been perfect! Such an amazing company! I'd NEVER buy a handle from a big box store anymore!
Verry good handle! Will return again to purchase more!
