I bought 4 of these (Grade B) handles and they arrived in great shape in just a few days. They are straight with fairly uniform eyes and sanded bare of any coating. The handle is thin and feels great in the hand and the palm swell is just the right size. They all have minimal run-out and are gorgeous after applying some tung oil. I really appreciate the added attention to detail that Beaver Tooth has accomplished over the past few years. Thanks, I'll be back when I need more.

Very nice handle for my 4lb. Single bit.Better than any big box store. Shipping to California took less than two weeks. If in doubt ,buy one.

The handle I ordered was a good #2. I am very satisfied.
Shipping of an order can take 30 days.
I like Beaver Tooth products, but feel you could up your game a bit by shipping a little faster.
Thanks Beaver Tooth!!

I've recently been overhauling a number of single bit axes I used as a boy, so I can get them back in use now. I've bought 28" through 36" hafts from a several US manufacturers, including Beaver Tooth. I recently fit a 32" BT haft to a 3.5lb Collins Homesteader I bought from ebay. As shipped, the smooth untreated surface made applying my preferred preservatives a lot faster- no wax or similar to strip off, and little additional processing afterwards. The hang went quickly and easily, and I quickly got the axe in service. This somewhat lighter axe seems happiest quartering the split halves of rounds. The handle makes a quick easy swing with plenty of power and no difficulty with aim. I really like how the palm swell is secure so allows a lighter hold that reduces impact in the finger joints.

realy happy with what I got. Shipping abbroad to switzerland will hang a nice head to it
