Could I put a 23 inch handle on it or the head is too heavy. Around 20 to 23 in

I don't think that's a good idea. notice how well the handle is attached to the head.i doubt you would be able to the same. I have tried this on other axes with indifferent success. it will become loose.

I have this wonderful axe, really amazing balance and also the Husqvarna 20" carpenters axe which is "top heavy". The head is 1.9 lbs I think so you could put a shorter handle on it but the question is why? This small forest axe/ multi use axe is the most amazing axe I have ever handled and a big part of that is the balance.

I am guessing you HAVE to replace the handle, otherwise it would not be a good idea. If so, I do not think the head is too heavy to put the shorter handle on it, but I do like the way it handles with the factory length.

Well, you could. It has a real good balance now with the 26 inch handle. It would feel a little off but if that is the only way you can enjoy this fine axe, go for it. A big head is better than none at all!

I think you could put a shorter handle on it with no problems. The head is not really that heavy and a shorter handle would make it even more handy. I have really enjoyed mine.

The lower part of the handle might be 0.75" but the middle section is no more than .5". It might be a bit too small to be held tightly in place.

From the back of where the handle is mounted, you only need 2.25 inches in order to push the handle back all the way. It does not push back very far, only angles back slightly.

You should not have any problem. The base is about 23" with the casters out.

I would say, yes. Assembled handle height is 19". My progeny (35+" tall) is two and still plays with it.

It is 20 feet and a couple inches so it has a little slack on my pool which is 20 feet. It would definitely be too small for your 23 feet.

Yes but I don't see why as you can buy one with a smaller handle it has a long handle because the head is heavy and you can always just chock up with your hands to accommodate your needs

I would look for a larger one if he is 6'. The weight limit is 164 lbs on this one andI think you would want a taller handle.

It may be too heavy for work above your head but should be alright for anything lower. I always rest the saw on the branch before I turn it on and that helps with the weight. I am 5'5".

Sorry for the delay in this response. At the widest part of the handles it is 20 1/4".

It's 24" from the end of the handle to tip.The metal frame or shaft is 23 3/8".

See the Shurhold Telescoping Handle or Shurhold 730 30" Fixed Length Handle. They work well with the replaceable heads.

well ya have 2 adjust the thing any way its a bit top heavy and when i bought the last 2 the handles where 2 much shaven off ie the head doesnt have enough wood 2 rest on and they have a cheap screw in it in order 4 the wooden handle 2 fit snugly a bit more 2 inch would be nice indeed.

I'm 5' 6" and the handle is a comfortable height for me. I think it would work for you too.

A hair over 24" is as small as it goes and still able to use mount hooks. You should be ok.

I'm not if I'm answering your question correctly. It 20 inches wide with the handles and the top of the handle to handle is also 20 inches.

I'm 5'6" and the 28" X25 works quite well for me. Soft wood like alder splits like it isn't even there. Harder wood like douglas fir may take a couple of whacks. The X25 feels pretty top heavy since the handle has very little weight. I wouldn't want it to be any longer since I think it would be harder to precisely control the point of impact.
