Garrett Wade Forest Axe with French-Made Sheath

A product of our partnership with a 3rd generation forge in Germany. The Forest Axe is a full-sized tree chopper with a 31½" Ash handle, a red steel safety collar and an extra thick neck

The Forest Axe is a hefty, full-sized tree chopper with a 31-½" handle, a 5-½" long cutting edge and an extra stout neck. This is the biggest axe in our selection, with its 8-½" head (from edge to poll) inches longer than comparable axes. Weighs 5.37 lbs. When you hold this axe, you just know it’s up to all of your felling and limbing tasks. It feels substantial in the hand—but not too heavy. The added heft of the longer and thicker head creates momentum on the swing, making the job go quicker. The woodchips will be flying.

The handle is European ash, a wood traditionally used for long tool handles for its durability and shock resistance. (The same reasons ash is commonly used in baseball bats). A red steel safety collar protects the top of the handle from potential damage caused by overstrikes. Made to our specifications in Germany by a well-respected foundry. Highly recommended. An excellent value.

This set also includes a French-Made leather sheath that is made to specifically fit the Garrett Wade Forest Axe.

The Garrett Wade Forest Axe is available for purchase separately, although we highly recommend this set.
