Material Properties and Technical Details

Despite being an Eco series, the handle is made from durable beechwood and meets basic quality standards.

Handle Material  Beechwood: One of the densest and hardest wood types on the market. Ideal for axe handles because it exhibits extraordinary resistance to high tensile and impact forces. This prevents the handle from cracking or breaking easily during cutting.

Shock Absorption: The dense fibrous structure of the wood effectively dampens severe vibrations caused during an axe strike, reducing stress on the user's hands and arms.

Lathe Process: The fact that the handle is lathed indicates that its surface has been smoothed and brought into an ergonomic and symmetrical shape that provides a comfortable grip. This improves grip and prevents slipping.
