Broad Axe Handle Offset American Hickory

Reed the Carpenter

Purchased my second offset broad axe handle from these guys recently. Opted for the better grade hickory both times. The handles are more than adequately oversized to custom hang and trim for length. Grain was correctly oriented. The offset is adequate but I steamed and bent both handles to fit me after hanging the axes. Neither axe is a wall hanger and is frequently used. These guys understand their product and sell at a fair price. The poplar wedges included with the handle were a nice extra and correctly sized for the job.

Broadaxe handle.

Still haven’t completed the hang, therefore haven’t tested the performance. There is some runout of the grain but won’t know if it’s a problem until tested. It looks to me to be cosmetic, at least that’s the hope. Otherwise the handle seems sound. For the price I can’t really complain and would not hesitate to purchase another.

Great quality in a sea of mostly sub par handles

Great old school quality made product from quality wood. Glad I made the purchase.
