Boker Knives Boker Plus 09BO255 Appalachian Axe 1055 Carbon Steel Axe Head with Hickory Wood Handles (Copy)

Whether for the home fireplace, the hunting lodge, the garden, forestry maintenance, the scout camp or the bushcraft camp, the axe as one of the oldest tools of mankind is still an indispensable object of use for many activities. Some outdoor enthusiasts even give the axe preference over the knife.

The Boker Plus Appalachian Axes feature a Rhenish-shaped axe head made of 1055 carbon steel, a choice that represents an above-average carbon content and material standard even for quality axes. The universally designed blade thickness is equally suitable for felling and splitting. The two models Appalachian Big and Appalchian Small differ in the length of the axe handles.With a 36cm long handle made of the best American hickory wood, this is the shorter of the two axes. This axe is better suited for carrying in or attaching to a rucksack due to its manageable size. The shorter handle is particularly suitable for longer fatigue-free work with one hand, as is the case when cutting (kindling) wood for cooking fires. The older term, kitchen axe, for axes of this class dates from the time when wood was still used to fire hearths in the home. A leather sheath is not included.
