ATLAS knob handle made of ash wood, straight handle without grip, 110 cm long. This handle is often used together with a spade.
ATLAS knob handles are made from ash wood rootstock, which contains 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 kiln-dried in a climate chamber under computer control. Because of this re-drying, the handle does not shrink and tools stay firmly attached to the handle.
The ATLAS handle is then waxed with plant-based carnauba wax. This allows the wood to breathe, prevents it from absorbing water or dirt, and preserves its beautiful natural color. Waxing provides a longer lifespan and a pleasantly smooth handle, helping prevent blisters. In addition, plant-based waxing of handles is better for the environment than using varnish or paraffin.
ATLAS knob handles are manufactured in the Netherlands in a completely energy-neutral way and are available in different versions.
