What is the difference between Grade A handles and Grade B handles?
This is the bigger brother of our popular 30C!
I bought an old, old, old steel pattern from a fellow axe junkie on eBay because I fell in love with the shape and that pattern was used to turn the 30C and for inspiration for the 28C and now the 32C.
There is something so awesome about getting a forgotten piece of history back into working hands. This pattern was made when people depended on their tools for survival so when it came to designing them they were not kidding around.
This curvy hickory single bit pattern is designed for axes that have a bit of a taller eye (Connies, Jerseys, etc...) but I'm sure it would feel comfortable on any axe you can fit it into.
The edges of the swell also curve slightly upward to give you more grip when swinging.
This is one of those handles that looks fine and dandy in pictures but you don't truly understand how awesome it is until you get to work with it.
Top of the Eye (eye is tapered): 2 1/2" X 15/16"
Shoulder: 2 7/8" X 1"
Customer Reviews
Some of us aren't fancy and would greatly appreciate any wedge with a handle. Don't need to be a special cacapoo wood from Madagascar
Great handle and the price is great too!!!
Beautiful handle. Customer service was even better. Had an issue with shipping and the owner responded immediately and sent out a replacement. Great customer service and great product. Hard combination these days...
I got to put the handle to use this weekend after setting the axe head (which was a first and gratifying experience). It was a very natural feel in my hand and is used it both to cut notches with full swings and for hewing using a choked up shorter swings. The handle performed wonderfully.
Just finished hanging a nice head on a really nice handle. These guys have yet to disappoint me.
