BOKER PLUS APPALACHIAN AXE SMALL

The Boker Plus Appalachian Axe features a Rhenish-shaped axe head made of 1055 carbon steel. 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 head. For the handle, the best long-fibre breaking American hickory is used, which is far superior to European ash in breaking elasticity and shock load resistance. The handle is double-wedged with a wooden wedge and a steel sleeve. With a 36cm long handle made of the best American hickory wood, this axe is better suited for carrying in or attaching to a rucksack due to its manageable size. The shorter handle is particularly suitable for longer fatigue-free work with one hand, as is the case when cutting (kindling) wood for cooking fires.
