Chopping Axe with Forged Steel Head and Hickory Handle

This beautifully weighted chopping axe is traditionally crafted for enduring strength, high performance, and comfort in use. Designed for two-handed use, it is ideal for splitting firewood into manageable pieces for woodburning stoves or open fires, and is also suitable for limbing branches during tree maintenance.

Construction

The head is crafted in forged high carbon steel — a process that changes the steel's molecular structure, building in strength and maximising edge retention. The FSC-certified hickory wood handle offers outstanding shock absorption, while the gently flared handle end provides a secure, confident grip.

Storage

Supplied with a soft buffalo hide leather pouch for safe storage when not in use.
