I'm hoping someone has the dimesions of the thickest parts of the CRKT Woods T-Hawk Replacement Handle? I'm hoping to use it to mount a few hawk heads I bought (eye is 1.3945" high and 0.9725" wide). Thanks!

The top is 1.5" by 1 3/16" for the stopper, the neck is 1 5/16" by 1" before the swell. Your eye might be just a bit longer, maybe a 1/16", than what there is here, but the last inch of the haft swells pretty quick. It might be worth ordering one to check it out first, but it doesn't seem like a sure thing.

Thank you. I actually found a local store that had a handle in stock. I checked it out yesterday and it was way too large for the eye of my tomahawk I couldn't even slide it on the handle. I'll look for another solution. Cheers!

If it's too big...shave it down? Some degree of fitting work is needed on basically all handles.

I know that, but I couldn't even get the head on the handle at all. I don't feel like spending the time to sand down three handles with hand tools. I have another handle in mind that should work.
 
Cold Steel replacement handles are skinnier than the CRKT, with the 30" handle running a bit thicker than the 22" below the swell. I don't have a dismounted one on hand to measure, but I bet it would thread that eye. On non-throwing hawks, I pack any gaps with silicone since CS handles and eyes tend to have a bit of individual variation. This has worked for years on a CS warhammer that I use as a demolition tool and picaroon around the yard, I bet it would hold a slightly wobbly hawk.
