Head weight ca. 1.500 g, cutting edge length 110 mm, overall length 800 mm.
A professional axe for working in the same way as the “fallers” of the old days.
Hand forged out of a solid piece of steel and carefully tempered and sharpened. This traditional American single-bit axe was asked for by Geoffrey Burke, boat-builder and axe man in New Hampshire. He and an axe collector, Lawrence Lyford, put in a lot of effort to help us build the right model.
The head weighs 3.3 lb and the face of the bit is 4 1/2”. The axe has an American hickory handle, 31” or 35”. It comes with a grain-leather sheath .
