This handy Hunting axe features a hand forged high carbon Swedish steel. Measures 16-1/2 overall. American Hickory handle for strength. Leather blade cover with belt loop. Lanyard hole.

Hand forged from Swedish quality steel alloyed from iron, carbon, silicon, manganese and vanadium. Hand forging uses presses that deliver many blows, making the axe edges stronger than if they were drop forged. The special axe steel alloy makes high quality hardening possible. After grinding, hardening and tempering, the Wetterling axes keep a Rockwell hardness of 57-58. These are the main reasons the Wetterling axes hold a keen edge with good "sting" longer than most axes. The handles are lathed from American hickory. The best stress capacity and resistance to blows make hickory the wood of choice for good axe handles. 
 

HUNTING HANDFORGED AXES
Finely-balanced and functional hunting axes. The cutting edge is convex and the bevel face slightly widened to chop or split firewood. All axes have a polished poll so that they can be used as a hammer or to skin animals. Hunting axes are supplied with a protective sheath of tough Tanned Leather.
