Rumblyguts,
Jim would have wanted the axe to get used or he wouldn't have put the effort into doing it up like one of his own.
Team Sergeant,
(as per phone conversation) Just measured the axe, it has twenty six inches of handle under the head and six and one half inches of edge on the bit.
Even the Australian and New Zealand choppers preferred North American hickory for their axe handles and to the best of my knowledge there was no second choice.
