Council Tool 2.0 Lb Hudson Bay Camp Axe, 24 Inch Curved Handle with Leather Sheath, Clear

Council has been making hand tools since 1886 and set the standard for quality and design. All Council axe heads are drop forged from high quality tool steel.

DESCRIPTION AND USAGE

2 Lb Hudson Bay Premium Velvicut® axe is a shape and size ideal for camping, hunting or hiking expeditions. The Hudson Bay is small enough to pack and carry yet big enough to get the job done. 2 lb head plus handle combines for an overall tool weight of approximately 2-3/4 lbs. The Hudson Bay has a very short eye length that helps to reduce the contact area between the head and handle. A sharp axe is a safe axe as it is less likely to glance out of the cut. This handle pattern features a prominent grip and a slim body that allows the handle to flex a bit, improving its ergonomics. OAL length of finished tool is 22 inches.
