The cold steel trail boss is compact enough to carry all day in your hand or strapped to your pack, yet tough enough for chores that would make a hatchet or tomahawk scream for mercy.Featuring a european style head with a 4" blade and a 4 1/2" cutting edge, it takes a big bite with every swing.Plus, it features a very sturdy, durable straight-grained american hickory handle.In our extensive field-tests in the outback of australia, the trail boss was used to chop kindling, clear roads and trails, to build blinds and even to chop down a fair sized tree.Blade Length: 4.50"Oal: 27"Blade Material: 1055 Carbon SteelHandle Description: American HickoryWeight: 2.10 lbsEdge Type: Plain
