This gives it superior strength and versatility of use so that it holds an edge longer. With a single stroke it is easily possible to cut wood up to 1-1/2” in diameter. •The sickle hook feature is chiseled sharp to slice through underbrush and vines and briars, and it can be used to pry sprouts from the ground as well. •The axe is balanced from the handle all the way to the tip, and this allows the user to swing it with a natural momentum for comfortable, efficient, accurate cutting. •To prevent corrosion and rust, the axe is coated with black powder. •The axe has a safety toe that extends one inch up the axe-side of the tool, and reduces the risk of deflective injuries.
