This linesmens broad hatchet handle fit exactly as described. The handle is shipped with a wooden wedge and a steel clincher. It fit this old hand forged hatchet. The hickory had a tearout defect which is why I rated only 4 stars. It is shipped unfinished, but some linseed oil finished it off.

I have purchased hundreds of handles in my life,and this one is as nice as any I've bought. White hickory, correct grain orientation, no finish [18" straight line'sman hammer]. Worth waiting for. BamBam

I ordered four different handles from this company. I was very satisfied The grain ran perfect north and south Which means that these handles will never split The wood was very high grade hickory Very very satisfied I will be ordering more from you I have a construction wheelbarrow that needs new handles and a complete rebuild Thank you for your excellent service
