This realtively new axe is a slightly bigger version of our iconic 1000g Woodworker. With a slightly heavier head weight (1250g) and longer (70cm) handle, this axe gives a bit more when you need it, while still retaining it's compact size. The Rhineland pattern head allows the axe to perform exceptionally well as a cutting tool, while still being able to handle moderate splitting work. Comes with our standard top grain cowhide leather adjustable sheath.
