2 lb. Hudson Bay Axe head outfitted with a curved hickory handle. Two-handed camp axe, 28" overall length . Used for light splitting, chopping, driving tent pegs, etc. The pattern is thought to have originated from “Biscayan” in Northern Spain, near France.

  • Forged tool steel head. Made in USA.
