Hi All, I am based in London and have been interested in outdoor activities ever since i earned my handaxe and knife badge is scouting some 60 years ago.
But my first post is going to be a question. I have purchased but not had delivered yet a Gilpin Chip Chop No. 1 head to renovate and need to know the best size of handle to fit to it. would it be 50/52mm.
Thanks in advance LOTUSELAM

Hi, welcome to the forum.

Do you mean 50cm? If so, the Chip Chop No 1 is a smallish head and I would fit it with slightly smaller handle - it makes a great camp axe with around 40cm handle IMO.

Thanks for the info, as soon as I get the head I will sort out the handle, thanks for your help!!
