The handle is just a hollow pipe. Just buy one at home depot or somewhere. I like the Husky with the synthetic handle. Can't see paying $75-$100 for something I'm just going to lose or break anyway, so I just go with a mid grade axe. Right now I’m having amnesia and déjà vu at the same time. I think I’ve forgotten this before.

Have a Snow and Nealy too but its head is a little too heavy and it's handle a bit short for my taste. Good steel though. I skinned a caribou with my Granfors. Great axe.
