Dimensions: Head overall 5 1/2" - Cutting edge 2 1/8" wide.

Handle: Cocobolo, 9 1/4" long

Finish: Sanded to 320 grit.

Steel: 1018 head with a piece of 1095 fire welded for the cutting edge.

Special Feature: Filework

This axe is stamped with my makers mark "NR" and come with a leather sheath/blade guard

Functional as well as beautiful. Great for many jobs around the camp, home or shop.

It is also very useful for the woodworker and sculptor for the accurate removal of waste stock. Great for green woodworking, trimming billets for country chairs, spoons and bowl making.

During the colonial period there were many small axes of the type. They were referred to as "bag axes or bag hawks". Frequently they were carried in a shooting pouch with the rest of the gear.

Price: $150.00 plus $12 shipping to the USA and Canada. Insurance included. SOLD

I accept PayPal, money order or check.

Thanks everyone for looking.
