Unique Hickory Handles

Our unique hickory handles are beautiful, one of a kind pieces. You are purchasing the exact handle in the photo! Please be aware our unique hickory handles do not carry a warranty due to their unique nature. If your handle breaks, we cannot replace it.

These handles are elegantly and ergonomically sculpted, ending in a generous palm swell. The handle comes with a “cone-end” below the palm swell. This feature presents multiple benefits to the handle, such as protection against damage to the palm swell when fitting. Once fitted you have the option of leaving it as-is, cutting it off to the curvature of the swell or rounding it over to add a classy, vintage style bulb end. Your handle will come with 1 walnut wedge and a coat of boiled linseed oil for preservation.

  • We don’t recommend burning our handles as this can create cracks and may compromise the integrity of the handle. Any burned handles will not be guaranteed.

beautiful product, great service

Very nice Handle

Very nice Handle. Grain orientation is perfect, no knots just a nice handle ( I thought it was at least a grade 2 but these folks said it is a 3. The first grade must be amazing.) hanging was fairly easy, you may want to have the kerf cut done for you. I’ve done a few so it is easy to do. All in all a great product!

Great handles

Great handles, nothing like opening a new box with handles in it. It’s as good as Christmas!

I found two small cracks in the axe head I intended to use your handle on

I found two small cracks in the axe head I intended to use your handle on .So as of now I haven’t installed the handle. I am in search of a head worthy of using that fine Hoffman handle on .

All Positive

I have hafted well over 100 axes, have made several dozen handles from scratch, and I have an axe in my hand nearly every day of my life. I can honestly say that these are the best handles I have ever used. Really ethical folks to deal with too. Much appreciated. Jim from rural Alaska

Love my new handle! Very little to alter to fit my hands or the head

Love my new handle! Very little to alter to fit my hands or the head. I like how the palm swell at the end of the handle is swelled all the way around. Many handles only swell fore and aft but not to the sides. I plan on purchasing more in the future.
