Does anyone know if replacement handle grips are available for the Marbles No. 2 safety axe anywhere? I bought a No. 2 axe (hatchet) and the Bakelite grips were toast.(Pun intended!) I'd like to restore this little axe if it's still possible. Thanks!
 
Might be real hard to find. You might have to check with a knife maker and have some made. Or check knife maker supply co and make something yourself...
 
Do not buy grips from www.gungrip.com It took me over a month to get them and they were the wrong size and very poor quality. I was just talking to another guy that said it took him 4 months and then returned them once to get a set that he could cut down and redrill to make them somewhat work.
 
You could get some Horse stall mat. A lot of cutting competition knife handles are made from the stuff. It would look similar, you can shape it. great grip and it's cheap I imagine. If you live in a farming area I bet you could get enough for nothing.
