I am looking for a particular style of hatchet handle. It's a 12" well contoured handle for what is sometimes referred to as a sportsman's pocket axe. It's for a small 1 1/4" eye. I ran into some of these at a flea market last year for $2.50 ea and like a dummy I only bought two because I didn't have anything they would fit at the time. Now I have a use for them and need more! Lo and behold I cannot find them online. The closest thing I have found is beavertooth handle supply's limited run of 12" pocket axe handles but they are $18 ea . As far as I can tell house handle doesn't have anything comparable. Those are my main two suppliers of handles. I checked around with the hickory handle places I could find on the net and no one offers anything like this. Guess I should have bought more of them
Anyone know of somewhere I may have overlooked?

Yes, I found a similar (but not exact) handle offered in the U.K but the shipping was $45
I have a pile of broken axe handles, I may have to resort to making my own.
