Boker Appalachian Axe Hickory Handle 1055 Carbon Steel

The Boker Plus Appalachian Axe features a Rhenish-shaped axe head made of 1055 carbon steel, a choice that represents an above-average carbon content and material standard even for quality axes. The universally designed blade thickness is equally suitable for felling and splitting. The lower tip (heel) of the 10.7 cm long cutting edge can be used as a turning nose for pieces of wood. The material is protected against rust by a protective lacquer. The versatile weight of 600g was chosen for the heads of both axes. For the handles, the best long-fiber breaking American hickory is used, which is far superior to European ash in breaking elasticity and shock load resistance. The handles are double wedged with a wooden wedge and steel sleeve.FeaturesLong-fiber American hickoryLanyard
