This “Better” handle was outstanding. With a little light sanding and a few coats of Tung oil
It came out beautiful. Took a little shaving and sanding to get a good fit in the vintage man edge tool company Knot Klipper 4# Michigan pattern axe head. It had beautiful straight grain and was shipped quickly. It is pictured here on the right next to another Knot Klipper once owned by the renowned Timber Tony from here in Sault Sainte Marie, Michigan. That’s another story for some time down the road.

I really liked this handle, it had the shape and thinness of the original handles that these old double bits were hung on. I just had to fit the eye, the rest of the handle was perfect as it was!

I am amazed at the ergonomics of this handle. I mounted a 4lb collins legitimus double bit michigan pattern head. Now it's a laserbeam.

Order was made. Delivered in a couple of weeks. Replaced old handle in double bit axe that was given to me by my grandfather in 1990 and extensively used in Aggie Bonfires 1991-1995. Handed it down to my son. Old handle was a bit rotten. As good as new and probably 75 years old.

I just received my order for two thirty two inch double bit handles. First thing I'll say is how fast they got here and I live in Canada. Second thing I'll say is how beautiful the handles are. I will be ordering again from Beaver Tooth
