Design Features
- Tailored Cross-Sectional Shape: The handle features a precise cross-sectional design of 40mm height by 20mm thickness, providing an optimal grip and balance for enhanced control during high-speed racing and chopping.
- Innovative Shank Design: Unlike traditional ellipse-shaped handles, our axe handle shank is engineered with flat sides that match the axe eye's shape. This design allows for quicker and easier fitting, minimising the chance of the handle twisting for a secure and reliable fit.
- Precision Kerf Wedge Slot: The handle includes an accurately machined, deep, thin kerf wedge slot that requires no additional sawing during installation. Facilitating a seamless and secure fit of the wedge.
- Enhanced Palm Swell Flats: All faces of the timber, including the palm swell flats, are precisely machined. This makes aligning the handle with the axe head easier and faster, saving you valuable time.
- Versatile Length Options: Choose from various length options tailored to meet the specific needs of different competitors and work axes, ensuring you find the perfect fit for your performance and comfort.
American Hickory is the preferred timber for axe handles thanks to its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, impact resistance, and long grain structure. It naturally absorbs shock, reducing strain on the user while withstanding repeated heavy blows. American Hickory can contain both sapwood and heartwood—light and dark sections of the same tree—with no compromise in strength or durability between them. From now on, we’re stocking only American Hickory. It’s the most reliable material we’ve worked with, and the best value for performance in the field.
