Boker Plus Appalachian Axe Big

'Whether used at the home fireplace, hunting lodge, garden, in forestry work, or at scout and bushcraft camps, the axe remains an essential tool for many tasks—some outdoorsmen even prefer it to a knife. The Boker Plus Appalachian axes have a Rhenish-style head forged from 1055 carbon steel, a choice that provides higher-than-average carbon content and material quality for a premium axe. The blade’s universal thickness makes it well suited for both felling and splitting, and the 10.7 cm cutting edge includes a lower heel that can be used as a turning point for wood. A protective lacquer helps resist rust, and each head weighs a versatile 600 g. Handles are crafted from long-fiber American hickory, which offers superior flexibility and shock resistance compared with European ash, and are secured with a wooden wedge and a steel sleeve. The Appalachian Big and Appalachian Small models differ only in handle length.'
