Axe handle ATLAS made of ash wood, with a head size of 50 x 19 mm and a length of 50 cm. This bent handle is suitable for an axe with a weight of 1000 grams. For mounting the handle, the axe wedge set with article number 651810 is recommended (wooden wedge 45 x 60 mm and 2 metal wedges no. 2 16 mm).
ATLAS axe handles are made from ash tree trunks, which contain the best wood. Ash wood is tough, shock-absorbing, and strong. The ash wood undergoes two drying processes: during the first drying process, sawn ash wood planks are air-dried. During the second process, the ash wood is computer-controlled dried back in a climate chamber. By drying it back, the handle does not shrink and the axe head stays firmly fixed to the handle.
The ATLAS handle is then waxed with plant-based Carnauba. This allows the wood to breathe, prevents it from absorbing water or dirt, and helps it retain its beautiful light color. Waxing provides a longer service life and a pleasantly smooth handle, which helps prevent blisters. In addition, plant-based waxing of handles is better for the environment than using varnish or paraffin.
ATLAS axe handles are manufactured entirely carbon-neutrally in the Netherlands and are available in various lengths and designs.
