ATLAS splitting axe handle 85 cm bent, head size 62 x 28 mm

Splitting axe handle ATLAS made of ash wood, with a head size of 62 x 28 mm and a length of 85 cm. This handle is suitable for the ADLER splitting axe 2800 grams (article number 951380) and ADLER splitting axe 2000 grams (article number 951390). For mounting the handle, the axe wedge set with article number 651815 is recommended (wooden wedge 70 x 80 mm and 2 metal wedges no. 4 22 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 boards are air-dried. During the second process, the ash wood is computer-controlled re-dried in a climate chamber. Because of this re-drying, the handle does not shrink and the axe head stays rock solid on the handle.

Next, the ATLAS handle is waxed with the plant-based Carnauba. This allows the wood to breathe, prevents it from absorbing water or dirt, and preserves its beautiful natural color. The waxing ensures a longer lifespan and a pleasantly smooth handle, helping prevent blisters. Moreover, plant-based waxing of handles is better for the environment than using varnish or paraffin.

ATLAS axe handles are manufactured entirely in the Netherlands in an energy-neutral way and are available in various lengths and versions.
