Scythe snath handle ATLAS 200 x 4.5 cm pointed

Zeisboomsteel ATLAS made of ash wood, with a length of 200 and a diameter of 4.5 cm. This straight, pointed handle is suitable for short scythes.

ATLAS ash handles are made from ash rootstock, which contains the best wood. Ash wood is tough, shock-resistant, 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 dried again in a climate chamber. Because of this redrying, the handle does not shrink and tools stay firmly attached to the handle.

Next, the ATLAS handles are waxed with plant-based carnauba. This ensures that the wood can breathe, does not absorb water or dirt, and retains its beautiful natural color. The waxing provides a longer lifespan and a pleasantly smooth handle, which helps prevent blisters. Moreover, plant-based waxing of handles is better for the environment than using varnish or paraffin.

ATLAS ash handles are manufactured entirely energy-neutral in the Netherlands.
