Handle~
The handle measures 5 in/12cm which is a good size for an adult hand to grasp. The handle is also very slightly shaped to make it comfortable to hold.
The handle is made of Ash wood which has been clear lacquered. Wilkinson sword printed their name on the handle. The handle does have a hole drilled in it so you can thread a lace or string through it. This is handy for hanging up in the tool shed.
At the lower end of the handle there is a metal ferrule (ring )to help keep the head in securely
