Crafted from high carbon steel laminated to heat-treated ductile iron, this little beauty is just right for light hewing and squaring of smaller logs. The head on this Japanese broad axe weighs 1.25 lb (570 gram) and has a cutting edge 4-1/4 inches long that is beveled on both sides. The bearded head shape allows you to grip just behind the head for maximum control when paring and trimming. Includes a lanyard and a split leather sheath.
