Customer Reviews
I originally purchased this fine replacement handle to hang a five pound council on it, however I had some issues with cracking due to my method of setting the head, so I really never got to completely test it. I reordered the handle and completed the hafting job and as expected the handle feels very good in the hand withe an excellent palm swell. The handle is very straight with great grain orientation. Very good quality.
I have always purchased high quality handles from whiskey river. This is my first straight handle purchase. I received the handle in quick fashion and was well packed. However as wood does it cracked at the palm swell while hafting. I have hafted many handles and on occasion I have one with a hidden crack. Just wish whiskey river would replace it without me spending another full price plus shipping.
