The Small Handle is a short piece of shaped wood used to fit a grip to tools, knives and small household goods. It is one of the most widely used parts in crafting.
Smiths fit it to forged tools such as the Carpentry Chisel, Auger Drill, Mason's Trowel and Fleshing Tool. Knife makers use it in Assemble Bladed Item and Assemble Crude Knife. Carvers turn it into a Wooden Spoon, Wooden Fork or Smoking Pipe. Most of this work falls under Carving and Blacksmithing.
The handle is carved from almost any piece of wood with a sharp knife. It is also a common find in tool stores and factories. The Carpenter is the best occupation for materials. It starts with the most Carpentry skill. For Welding, the Welder starts strongest.
Uses
Blacksmithing takes the most handles. Forge Masonry Trowel needs Blacksmithing level 2 and makes a Mason's Trowel. Forge Fleshing Tool takes two handles and makes the Fleshing Tool for hide work. Forge Carpentry Chisel and Forge Gardening Trowel need level 4. Forge Drill makes an Auger Drill at level 5. Forge Kettle makes a Copper Kettle, and Forge Corkscrew makes a Corkscrew. The high end is Forge Handguard Dagger at level 6 and Forge Straight Razor at level 9.
Weapon repair and assembly use it too. Assemble Bladed Item fits a handle to a loose blade, such as a Machete Blade or Kitchen Knife Blade. Assemble Crude Knife joins a handle to a Stone Blade or Simple Metal Blade with a binding. Both need Maintenance level 1.
Carving turns a handle into small goods. Carve Wooden Spoon and Carve Clay Sculpting Tool need Carving level 1. Carve Wooden Fork and Carve Dice need level 2. Carve Pipe needs level 3 and makes a Smoking Pipe.
Carpentry uses one in Make Wooden Bucket, along with Planks, Nails, Wire and two Iron Band - Small.

- Broken weapon and tool handles carve back into Small Handles.
- The handle burns as fuel in a campfire or stove.
- Spare handles let a broken blade go back onto a new grip.
