The handle of a weapon or tool.
1For a week I left my helve standing there in the corner.
2By the time we had cooked dinner that Indian had fashioned another helve.
3Only he won't be convinced till it comes to the helve.
4The handle broke short off at the point where the helve meets the steel.
5That were indeed to throw the helve after the hatchet.
6So I used the helve of an entrenching-tool and the stalks of the willow undergrowth.
7To do this look along the helve with the edge of the head turned upwards.
8And he ran out and gave Turkey Proudfoot a sharp rap with the axe helve.
9We know already how to handle the helve of an axe, and fight with it.
10She was not as large as the helve of an axe when I went away.
11A mammoth ax-helve I noticed on the wall was labeled, "Shagbark-hickory from Missouri."
12Having come somewhat painfully by that helve, I really wanted to see it in use.
13I even thought of getting up in the night and putting the helve on the coals-secretly
14With the helve of his mattock tight in his grasp, he sank into a dreamless sleep.
15Reason not,- Ithrowthe helve after the hatchet.
16Thee'rt throwing helve after hatchet, I tell 'ee.
