Smedbergs Replacement Axe Handles are crafted from premium American hickory, a choice material for its durability, strength, and flexibility. The long, straight fibres of hickory ensure these handles last a long time, making them ideal for everything from small hatchets to large felling and splitting axes. Each handle is soaked in hot linseed oil and then waxed, offering resistance against dirt and water, enhancing the handle's durability, longevity and ease of maintenance.

Please Note: Some handles may come with a pre-sawn kerf, while others may not. The size description provides the handle's length and eye size to ensure a fit that's both safe and secure. Remember: when measuring up for a new axe handle always take the lower eye opening as this is normally a little smaller than the top opening.

It's recommended to use a cabinet rasp for careful wood removal during fitting and to always glue the wooden wedge in place for added security.

Included with each handle:

• Hickory handle
• Seasoned hardwood wedge
• Steel wedge

Please be aware that handles exceeding 62cm in length do not qualify for our standard Royal Mail Tracked48 or Tracked24 services, as they surpass Royal Mail's maximum length restriction. To accommodate these longer items, we currently use Parcelforce services, which accept parcels of this size but come at a higher cost than our standard shipping rates.

We understand the inconvenience this may cause and are actively seeking more cost-effective shipping alternatives for these oversized items. Your understanding is much appreciated.
