While out in Colorado in July 2025 I found a hand forged pick head on the tailings pile of an old silver mine. Though rusty, it was in great shape for being about 140 years old. I measured the opening in pick head and upon contacting Beaver-Tooth Handle Co, they told me that they thought that their 36" Railroad / Clay Pick / Mattock Cutter Handle 5LB. #6 Eye would work in the pick head I found. Well, it fit perfectly and I now have the restored pick hanging on my wood shed wall. It's really great to have a US company still making quality replacement tool handles-- Keep up your great work !

My father had this pick axe for as long as I can remember. Over 60 yrs... I got it, used it loved it. Kept it safe in my shed when we moved 1300 klms from Manitoba. Used it here, where low and behold the handle broke in 2. Let's just say I understand things breaking after 60 yrs.... just saying.
I found Beaver -Tooth, they have the perfect handle. I ordered it. In the meantime I cleaned up the Pick Axe steel, and now they are one.
Absolutely over the moon with it.
Thank you so much for helping me restore, something I have many fond memories of my Father about. Working in the woods NE of Kenora helping my Grandparents. Missing them all.
Thanks again.

In the past, the only issue I've had with Beaver Tooth Handle Co has been time to ship, but I've always considered it absolutely worth it for the quality and ability to get handles with proper eye sizes for the antique tools I restore that fit without extreme amounts of sanding and grinding. This handle, however, shipped incredibly quickly, and as such I don't have a single thing to complain about. This handle had an exceptionally beautiful Grain pattern which came out beautifully after applying stain and BLO.

Nicely finished. Beautiful straight grain.

Good handle. Chose the higher grade. Came with optimal grain orientation and no knots or dark spots.
