Features: Hand forged head that's heat treated for strength and durability. Ergonomically sculpted hickory handle. Symmetrical bevel for standard carving. Handmade sheath made from vegetable tanned leather. 100% made in the USA. Description: Only the best materials will do for this collaboration between Austrian wood carver Maximilian Neukaufler and master craftsman Liam Hoffman. Years of combined experience and artistry went into the creation of this exceptional tool. The compact construction is perfectly designed for weight, balance, and ease of movement. The flat Scandi ground edge is set at 30 degrees for optimum carving performance. The head is hand forged from 4142 chrome moly steel, meaning that your axe is stronger than standard stainless steel, extremely resistant to corrosion, and that it rates particularly high in the toughness category. The hand carved handle is sculpted from clear grained hickory. The sheath is also handmade from thick vegetable tanned leather.
