1. Grain — runs straight and parallel all the way through the handle, especially through the eye/tenon
2. Runout — no grain lines that suddenly run out the side
3. Knots — none, including near the eye.
4. Cracks/checking — none, including around the kerf.
5. Tenon — the throat looks substantial and symmetrical
6. Shoulder — nice clean transition, does not look like there’s a lot of extra material
7. Wedge — confirmed, they actually sent both a small one and a large one. Thanks!
8. Finish — it’s truly dry/unfinished, as I requested.

A great product!

I like the handle

I like the handle. It looks good like all the others I’ve bought from you. I received a 32 inch handle but I thought I was ordering a 28 inch. I probably made a mistake when ordering. Thanks

Purple Heart Handles

True quality

I needed a handle for my True Temper Kelly perfect 4lb Jersey axe to make a nice splitting axe. This Purple Heart beauty fit the bill perfectly! I’m old school and prefer a slender handle and this one feels like a good axe should. Thanks for making quality products at a fair price right here in the USA!

Excellent handle, beautiful wood

Wow what a beautiful handle! This was my first handle replacement, so there was a bit of a learning curve with the project but the wood never worked against me. I needed to do a lot of trimming to fit my vintage axe head, but it was well worth the trouble. Combined with the walnut wedge, it's everything I had hoped for!

19" Handle

Great quality and craftsmanship

Great quality and craftsmanship. I easily hafted and restored my great uncle’s splitting axe. Loved that the handle base is flat so you can pound on it without accidentally cracking it.
