From the Manufacturer - About Tennessee Hickory Handles:

Our striking tool handles are manufactured from genuine American Hickory grown in the Tennessee River Valley region. Hickory is a natural shock absorber &has excellent strength for tool handles. The hickory tree has been used for hundreds of years for some of the most demanding uses including wagon wheel spokes &tool handles. The first tool handles were hand carved &later turned on "Defiance" lathes. Today, hydraulic &air automatic lathes do the machining but every handle is still visibly inspected &graded because hickory is a natural product.
