When choosing an axe, the blade material is a critical factor that influences its performance, durability, and suitability for specific tasks.
Selecting the right handle material for your axe depends on a balance of factors including intended use, comfort, maintenance, and personal preference.
1. Hickory Handles: Known for its excellent strength and shock absorption.
2. Shock-absorbing FiberComp® handle is lightweight yet stronger than steel to prevent overstrike damage.
3. Glass-Filled Nylon: Lightweight and resistant to moisture and decay, though they may not be as durable under heavy use.
4. Rubber Overmolded Handles: Feature a core material (like fiberglass or steel) covered with rubber for improved grip and vibration dampening.
