Our axes are hand forged from a block of 4142 chrome/moly alloy steel in the Blue Ridge mountains on the Western North Carolina, Eastern Tennessee line and heat treated to 55.5 HRC. The heads are hung on straight grained hickory handles made from cabinet grade kiln dried lumber*. Each handle is hand fitted with a drawknife.
The poll is hardened to be used as a proper hammer. The mini camper has a head weight of 1.25 pounds, with handle lengths of 12 and 15 inches, so you have the choice of picking the axe which will suit your work style. This axe is very similar to our camp axe, but smaller and made without the stepped poll feature.
Sheaths are hand made with thick vegetable tanned water buffalo leather. 100% made in house. Overbuilt and ready to use, because overkill never fails.
