Perfectly straight and the tightest grain pattern I've seen in a long time. Beautiful work.

Like all of the Whiskey river Trading handles this one is no different, its a quality handle and has not disappointed after a lot of splitting mostly ash and red oak. I hafted a 4 lb Canadian Sager on it and its a splitting machine. My only critique is I like a more pronounced palm swell on my handles, these seem to have little to no palm swell.

Haven’t hung my axes yet but the quality of of these handles is apparent. Awesome grain orientation, perfectly cut kerfs and nice wedges.

This handle is a “B” grade that looks and feels like an “A.” • Dimensionally, it’s exactly as advertised (perfect). Just what I wanted. • Design-wise, it is as described and precisely what I need (perfect). • Runout and grain orientation are wonderful (perfect). • Aesthetically, it is FINE (perfect)! I can’t wait to flame it and oil it up a ton. WR is always my first choice when it comes to handles. Why? Their products are PERFECT!!!

Previous reviewer said it best. This B grade handle is better than any hardware store handle out there. This price is phenomenal. I will be purchasing more in the future.

Ordered a double bit 32” handle grade B. If it was me I would have sold it as grade A! I also ordered a bunch of Purple Heart wedges that are beautiful!

Ordered 3 axe handles. They were shipped out in a timely manner and when they arrived I was very pleased. They were of the highest quality handles I have purchased. I will be ordering all my handles from now on from whiskey river.

I ordered three handles from you guys. They all looked great, and were much easier to fit straight than I anticipated. These handles made me look like I know what I’m doing, which I don’t …and the shipping was wicked fast. I have handles for everything now, but I’m going to order some extras soon, just in case.

Can’t find a fault in this handle. The standards for A grade must be off the charts. Awesome handle. Two very enthusiastic thumbs up

Once again, I had just finished hanging a vintage axe head on one my “local” farm supply/hardware store handles when my Whiskey River handles arrived. There is no comparison, really. First, I only had two handles to choose from at the farm supply and the fawn’s foot had a twist 8” from the end that is sure to break early on. The Whiskey River handles are all straight grained with near perfect orientation. To top it off, I have to scrape the varnish off the farm supply handles in order to apply linseed oil! Another positive feature of the Whiskey River handles, for me, is the slightly oversize head area and more generous flare in the bottom of the seating area, that can fit a wider range of variation in axe heads than the “farm supply” handles. A larger flare means I don’t have to worry about the axe sliding over the seating area when I am fitting an axe head. Thankfully I have only one more farm supply handle to use and I might even just cut it in half or thirds to use for smaller hand tool grips! To sum up, you cannot beat the Whiskey River handles in price or quality compared to the farm supply, hardware, and big box stores in any way, shape, or form!

Who says you can’t put a shorter handle on a felling axe? I did it for my friend who has two younger boys so they can get to work. It’s pretty cool.
