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).
