Your cart is empty.
Your cart is empty.There’s a romance to the “old ways,” when people could live by their wits using only what the land provided and a few sharp tools. But that way of life is still possible—and the tools have never been better. This Felling Axe is a big hitter, designed to cut deep and true across the grain of even the largest trees. The Italian handle style is straighter than most, more power to the head with each swing and producing incredibly powerful blows. The oval ash handle measures 35” and fits perfectly in the hand; the slight flare at the business end creates a self-tightening head that secures itself anew with each swing. (Any looseness in the head—which is normal due to use and seasonal wood movement—can be corrected with a firm mallet-tap or two to the top of the handle itself, just above the axe head.) The 2.75 lb. steel head is powder-coated to resist the elements and measures 8.75” long with a 4.25” striking face. Made in Italy

With its friction fit axe head you can easily make replacement handles in the woods if needed with no issues and easy to take off the shaft and just bring the head and a saw with you to fashion a handle in the woods if you want to put in a survival kit. Its too bad they don't offer a good leather sheath to go along with it, I would of bought one though its not too much of a problem making one on my own.

This thing is like a tomahawk, but scaled up to axe size. With the long handle it hits hard and can get decent chips moving. Seems to be reasonably heat treated since it didn't noticably dull cutting through some locust trees. Overall an interesting and very usable axe.My only real issue with it is the smaller swell on the handle (since it has to fit through the head).

It's got a solid head, and it is capable of felling anything here in Hawaii. It's a friction fit design, so you can theoretically make a new handle for it in the field if you needed to. I'm guessing that this axe is made by Prandi in Italy. The steel is good, and it has solid fit and finish.
