The handle is riveted, which means it is secured to the shaft with a rivet. The shaft is 120 cm long. The shaft curves at the end, ensuring a comfortable 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 ensures a longer lifespan. Furthermore, waxing is better for the environment than varnishing.
