The handle has a through-hole design, which means that the handle is not secured with a rivet but is inserted through the shaft. This provides extra strength. The handle is 100 cm long. The handle is curved at the end, which promotes a good working posture. The handle is made of waxed ash wood. The waxed ash wood handle allows the wood to breathe and prevents it from absorbing water and dirt, which extends its lifespan. Furthermore, waxing is better for the environment than varnishing.
