We offer our premium American made handles in a #1 and #2 grade.

Our #1 grade guarantees straight, parallel grain orientation on your handle. Our #2 grade guarantees against cracks, irregularly twisted grain, and flaws that compromise the integrity of the handle but with grain orientation running non-parallel. We recommend our #1 grade for the experienced craftsman or for an axe you must highly depend on. Our #2 grade is still a fantastic choice for a working axe, watch our testing video here to see for yourself!

Our 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.

It is very nice to see that there is a quality made product still made

It is very nice to see that there is a quality made product still made.

The craftsmanship of the handle is very nice.

I ordered this handle as I wanted a shorter handle for my single bit felling axe. When it arrived I realized I miss measured the eye of my axe. I said not biggie as I have others that it may work on. Nope I didn't. This gives me the excuse (not that I need one) to go find another axe with a smaller eye that I WILL use this handle with. The hunt is on and I am excited to find one that fits.

Great handle

I put a vintage 4# Jersey on this handle

I put a vintage 4# Jersey on this handle. The curve is just enough to keep the bit from diving, and the balance point is just under the head. This axe feels lighter now, and has given my swing a lot of confidence.

I ended up ebonizing the finish, sanding that down and adding oil. This is the most beautiful I own now.

I chose this handle for an old drift pick that is a family heirloom

I chose this handle for an old drift pick that is a family heirloom. Really pleased with the octagonal profile to complete a showcase look - turned out beautifully!

Pass it on down, Keep it in the family.

Great so far, hanging on a Vintage Black Raven, passed down from my Grandpa, then Dad, have not finished yet but close, handle looks great, thanks, Richard.

Great quality handle

Great quality handle. I worked the head down to fit into a hammer head and it’s amazing. Wish you guys would offer hammer specific handles but carving them down doesn’t take much time to do.

Walnut replacement wedges

I just received the Walnut wedges yesterday and I have not had time to remove the previous wedge to re-install the new one at a greater depth in the handle.
Take care and thank you for your understanding.

There is a reason why Liam has repeat customers

There is a reason why Liam has repeat customers, as always with Hoffman products you receive the best. I have more products than I can count on two hands from them including some custom stamped Axes, and the craftsman ship is why I continue to come back for more even to hang other hand made heads on to.
