This all-purpose axe is a reliable tool for woodwork, whether you're splitting smaller pieces of wood or preparing wood for a fireplace or fire pit. The double-hardened, forged steel blade stays sharp for a long time, even with heavy use, and cuts through wood with ease thanks to its low-friction coating. At the same time, the virtually unbreakable connection between the axe head and the shaft provides additional safety. The durable FiberComp™ shaft and the textured SoftGrip™ handle provide you with control and comfort with every swing.
