Japanese Ono Forest Axe

Japanese Ono Forest Axe

The head on this nicely crafted Japanese axe is made from laminating a softer, impact absorbing steel, that is less brittle and more durable, with a high-carbon content steel for providing superior edge retention. The long, tapered head on this forest axe is 8-1/4" long, with a 3-1/4" wide cutting edge and weighs 3.7lbs. This axe will handle felling, limbing and light splitting. It has a straight profile handle made from Japanese white oak. Overall length is 35-1/2". (Note: The handle wedge in the axe eye protrudes out a full inch and can be hammered in as needed should the head ever need tightening.)
