I recently got a Norlund axe head that was my Dads. I remember it had a Boy Scout embossed sheath. It’s 7” long, cutting edge is 4-1/4”, and back of head is 2/3/8”. Looks like Hudson Bay or Tomahawk shape. I’m looking for a handle for it. I think it was originally around 20” lg. The eye measures 2-5-16 x 13/16”. What I’ve found won’t fit this eye. Looking for suggestions. Thanks in advance.

Check “Vintageaxeworks” on Instagram. You don’t have to be a member.
Roy is a wonderful guy and has rehandled my Norlund and a few more. His handles are all handmade one at the time and are made right.
