The handle is made from 18-inch hickory wood. Hickory is a dense hardwood with a flexible grain structure that absorbs impact shock from repeated strikes on hard rock and bedrock. This shock absorption reduces wrist fatigue during extended digging sessions compared to rigid materials that transfer the full impact force to your hand. Hickory also resists splitting and cracking under heavy use. The natural wood grain provides a secure grip even when wet or dusty.
