This axe is the perfect companion for a tramp in the woods or to keep in the wood box next to the hearth.  The head itself weighs 2 lbs and measures 6” long with a 3” cutting edge. With an overall length of 20” this axe is big enough to swing two handed but light enough to use one handed for finer cutting.  Small enough to strap to your pack or carry on your belt yet big enough to fell a tree 6” to 10” in diameter.  The only axe you need to chop firewood, split kindling, and carve a spoon as you sit around the evening fire!
