Purchased from Menard's. The one on the left looks as though it is a laminated gun stock. Really neat coloring.

i do not know what Menards is but those look like quality.
 
I've handled them at Acme Tool Crib. The handles are definitely solid. It seems the wedge shape is most similar to the oschenkopf or whatever. A straight line from tip to widest part.

I would guess the handle would do a great job of absorbing shock. Hard to tell for sure without using of course. Pretty sure the handles are guaranteed against breakage.

Also noticed the had 2 different handle lengths. I definitely would want the longer one.
 
That's good info, Matt. I was already having second thoughts based on one particular amazon review about a loose head. I grabbed one though, we'll see how it works. I'll post up some pics how it looks as received, etc. I might even take a vid, so you guys can clown me on my splitting form. :laugh:
