Does it have to be hickory? Are tomahawk handles no longer available? It’s been a few years since I replaced the handle on mine.
Google came up with this: Axe, Adze & Hatchet - Krugers since 1911
Hi all
Where can I buy a replacement hickory handle for my old Sandvik tomahawk?
I have had this for around thirty years, I guess if it was any older the stamp on the head would say West Germany. The handle is actually broken inside the head and it has been lying around for years now hence the state of the head. It’s just on 15” in length. It used to have a very nice sheath but that’s long lost on my travels.
Thanks in advance.
Cheers - Simon

Hardware stores still stock handles.
Hickory is still the best, but Spotted Gum is almost as good.
Try educational supplies stores in New Zealand.

If you are handy with woodwork you could grab a length of hickory or some other suitable wood and use the old handle as a template and fashion a new one.
Failing that most GOOD hardware stores have axe/hatchet handles and so do most rural supply stores

Hi trout1105
Yeah, I have the tools but not really the inclination just at the moment. We live in the country and there are plenty of rural supply outfits but none seem to have them. I’ll have another hunt around the hardware stores.
I purchased it originally from a little tool shop in Bondi junction run by a couple of very old Jewish brothers in the early 90’s. They had quality and rare tools from European and US manufacturers noone else had. Some had obviously been sitting on the shelves for decades. Alas the shop has long gone.

Total tools has a range of hickory handles.
If you don't like trucks, stop buying stuff.
Have a look here. The second website shows the the handle is hickory

Don.
Thanks Don
Unfortunately the second link won’t open. I wrote to the manufacturer who actually responded. They sold that part of the business to Snap On in 1999. They provided a link and there is an agent only 20kms from me. I’ll drop in there next time I’m in the area and see what they have.
