This Stansport ® Camping Axe features a high carbon steel head with a sharpened polished blade. The hot forged blade is extra durable, and the medium length ergonomic handle is made from solid wood. The hickory handle is naturally shock absorbent and durable, which makes it perfect for heavy-duty use. The flattened reverse head can be used for hammering or other activities that require force. The lacquer finish on the handle preserves wood while providing a secure grip. The paint finish on the head provides corrosion resistance. This product comes with a rubber blade cover for safe storage and transport.
