American
Felling Axe
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 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. On
special orders the handle may be 31 straight. It comes
with a grain-leather sheath. (Yes, they had high stumps in the
old days).
