ATLAS axe handle made of hickory wood for a 1600 gram axe, bent model with head dimensions of 62 x 28 mm and a length of 75 cm. For mounting the handle, the axe wedge set with article number 651815 is recommended (large wooden wedge + 2 metal wedges no. 4).
Hickory is a heavy and hard American wood species that is even stronger than ash wood. Hickory wood is exceptionally tough, shock-resistant, and resilient. The ATLAS hickory handle is also waxed with plant-based Carnauba. This ensures that the wood can breathe, does not absorb water or dirt, and retains its beautiful natural color. Waxing provides a longer service life and a pleasantly smooth handle, helping to prevent blisters. In addition, plant-based waxing of handles is better for the environment than using varnish or paraffin.
ATLAS hickory axe handles are, for the most part, manufactured energy-neutrally in the Netherlands and are available in various lengths and designs.
