Small Forest Axe

Thank you!

First of all I’m very glad to support a small business like Appalachian outfitters. And I will definitely shop their website in the future. However only using the axe to cut a 2” or less branch I noticed “what appears to be” a small hairline crack in the handle. Wonder if you can see it in the pictures below. I sent a note to Appalachian to ask if they thought it was a defect - or just a natural feature of the wood. I don’t know and was just asking in case it is something that people more knowledgeable than me would be concerned about. Oddly I didn’t get a response to my email.

I’m not rushing to judgment - and perhaps they will respond. I’m not asking for anything except their good faith assessment.

Anyway - this is my third GB axe and probably not my last.

Perfect for camp. Small enough for your pack. Highly recommend this axe. Old school craftsmanship. Incredible tool.

versatile and can be thrown in a sack when you hit the trail or need to take care of something on your property. I will keep buying these as gifts for as long as I'm alive because the quality is absolutely unmatched.

Very well made, great quality, small axe. I prefer this “camp axe” size over a hatchet for limbing medium / smaller trees. This is definitely not a splitting axe, and only just big enough for two-handed overhead swings. A perfect supplement for my arsenal!
