Quick Overview

Forged tool steel head. Made in USA. Cutting edge is approximately 3.5 inches, and tapered pick end is designed for penetration.
Hand sharpened, tapered cutting edge.
ANSI Standards call for bit hardness of Rc 45-60, at least ½ inch back from the cutting edge. Council Tool internal standards call for tempered bit hardness of Rc 48-55 and we target 1-1/4 inches from the cutting edge. The poll and eye walls are not hardened and remain in the as forged condition.
Body coated with red enamel and the cutting edge in clear lacquer to deter rust.
28" American Hickory handle. Eye section is dried to below 10% moisture content to minimize shrinkage and help prevent loosening.
Axe head is hydraulically seated onto handle and secured with a serrated aluminum wedge. The serrated shape improves "bite," and the aluminum choice of material is strong, lightweight, and does not change size with moisture content.
The interior detail of the eye is tapered and allows for a very good mechanical bond. Approximately 1/2" of the overall length of the handle is removed during assembly.
