Böker Plus - Appalachian Axe Small

The Böker Plus Appalachian Axes feature an axe head in Rhineland form made of carbon steel 1095. This choice represents an above-average carbon content and material standard even for high-quality axes. The universally designed blade thickness is equally suitable for felling and splitting. The lower tip (heel) of the 10,7cm long blade can be used as a turning point for pieces of wood. The material is protected from rust by a protective coating. For the heads of both axes, the versatile weight of 600g was chosen. The handles are made of the finest long-fibered American hickory, which is far superior to European ash in terms of breaking elasticity and shock load tolerance. The handles are double wedged with wooden wedge and steel sleeve. The two models Appalachian Big and Appalachian Small differ in the length of the axe handles

With a 36cm long handle made of the finest American hickory wood, this is the shorter of the two axes. This axe is more suitable for transport in or attachment to the backpack due to its compact size. The shorter handle is especially suitable for longer, fatigue-free work with one hand, as is the case when splitting (kindling) wood for cooking fires. The older term "kitchen axe" for axes of this class originates from the time when stoves in the house were still fired with wood. Delivery without leather sheath
