AX5 – Chopping Hewing Axe

The BeaverCraft AX5 Chopping Hewing Axe is a robust and versatile tool that harkens back to the age of Vikings with its formidable design and exceptional craftsmanship. This axe will excel in both woodworking and camp craft.

Designed for efficiency, the AX5 boasts a razor-sharp blade forged from high-carbon steel, ensuring durability and a long-lasting edge. The convex grind and deeply curved blade from toe to heel provide an expansive cutting edge, making it your perfect companion for limbing trees or delving deep into the heartwood with precision and ease.

Big in function yet designed to avoid bulkiness, this axe is agile and manageable. Its long, straight Ashwood handle is not only a sight to behold but also offers an ergonomic grip that affords you control and comfort during extended use. Treated with linseed oil and wax, the handle provides a long service life, standing up to the rigors of outdoor use.

Whether you’re preparing kindling for a campfire, crafting at your campsite, or engaged in serious timber work, the AX5 is suited for a range of tasks. Its well-balanced nature makes it ideal for anyone from the casual camper to the seasoned woodsman. To ensure the axe remains in top condition, it comes with a protective cowhide leather sheath that guards the blade against the elements and scratches when not in use.
