‘Full Swing’ 26”/28” Axe Handle - Designed to Support the Toughest Jobs 

Made of American Hickory, we're proud to offer the 'Full Swing' wooden axe handle. This premium product is manufactured on a lathe. This method of manufacturing ensures consistency in shape and feel between all handles.

At 26" or 28", this straight handle includes a generous palm swell. The large eye allows for shaping to fit oversized or irregular axe heads. 

Grain orientation may vary between handles - anywhere from a 45-degree angle to straight. 

KIT INCLUDES:

  • 26” or 28" Hickory Handle, pre-oiled (head NOT included).
  • Partially cut kerf at 1" depth
  • 1 Walnut Wedge
  • 2 Metal Wedges, by Taco Fasteners

Designed by: Garrett Austin, Westcoast Saw Lead Product Tester

Manufactured by: Hoffman Blacksmithing, Tennessee

WARRANTY: Because our ax handles are made of natural fiber, we do not offer a warranty. 

*Cannot be shipped to New Zealand or Australia*

Q. How to Replace an Ax Handle

A. First, remove the old handle from the ax head by drilling or cutting away any remaining material. After the head is clear, select a replacement hickory handle and make sure it fits snugly in the ax head's eye. If needed, sand the handle to ensure a snug fit. To ensure a firm grip, insert the handle into the head and then expand it inside the eye using a wooden or metal wedge. In order to shield the handle from wear, lastly trim any extra wood and coat it with linseed oil.

Q. What is the Best Wood for an Axe Handle? 

A. Because of its strength, flexibility, and ability to absorb shock, hickory is the best material to use for axe handles. Its natural fibers make it resistant to wear and breaking, reducing hand fatigue and making it perfect for heavy use.

Full Swing Handle

Broke a handle on a Council tools axe and wanted a straighter handle that was one handed use friendly. Couldn’t be happier! The quality of this handle is way beyond anything I saw in hardware stores.

Excellent Handle!

Great handle for building my wedge banger - grain is excellent and with some strategic torch use, it now has a beautiful toasted finish to it.
