Highlights



























Description

Perfect axe for cutting small trees, limbing, and even splitting kindling. I found that it is light enough to carry long distances and wield gracefully for small work. When faced with a larger job the 24u2019u2019 inch handle and 1 u00bd pound head combined with a razor-sharp, convex edge allows for high head speed and deep penetration with minimal effort.



Specifications
The axe head features a shaving sharp convex cutting edge providing durability, low resistance on deep cuts and effective chip removle. Equipped with a 24u2019u2019 white ash, hard maple, yellow birch or hickory handle.



Maintenance

Oil handle and head occasionally with boiled linseed oil. Axe is sold with the handle secured with a glued wooden wedge. If the head were to come loose, it comes with 3 forged metal wedges to drive into the handle to secure it. Unfortunately, wooden handles do break due to age, overstrikes, neglect and other reasons. Coming soon, replacement handles and wedges will be available on alderhardtironworks. One of the most important parts of owning an axe is keeping it sharp. I recommend sharpening with stones and stropping on a leather strap. There are lots of videos on Youtube of how to sharpen with stone and where to get them.
