Whiskey River Premium Heritage 28LUM - 28" Handle

I can appreciate what these guys are doing with the handles. The eye was a shade small for my head so it might become loose over time. I replaced my Hultafors handle because it was constantly loosening up. Over the last ten years I have never had a chip in it. After 3 trees my nee handle has a big chip in the side of it…..not sure how or why that happened. The handle is also really skinny and a bit sharp feeling compared to my old one. All in all I recommend this product and the lighter weight handle will be better in my pack, but its not looking like its going to hold up very long.

Well I tried emailing to get response and am willing to try another order but I had one chip off the old shoulder… Tried making it work not sure if worm hole, shipping but that stress fracture chipped off after hours of hafting and shaping. I tried emailing for support but have not heard anything back. Wish they had phone number to speak with someone.

Now I don’t want to get it dirty. Wax the axe , oil the handle. Repeat

After setting a couple of axes on the Heritage axe handles, I was anxious to try this 28” LUM handle on a couple of trail axes I’ve had on overly stout OEM handles. Sweet mama, these handles are just the ticket! Thin where you want it with a fawn’s foot swell that really works to keep your hand in place when you really get to swinging. I like the extra 4” vs the stock handle that came on my forest axe. Thank you Brandon for keeping the heritage handles alive.
Sincerely,
Peter Bovey

Although I haven’t put a head on this handle it feels so good, it reminds me of the handles of yesteryear.
