Made By People, Not Machines

Our mini double bit, born in the linville gorge

The Hawksbill earned it's name from it's maiden voyage in the Linville Gorge Wilderness Area in Western NC. This compact double bladed axe has a head weight of 1.5lbs and is hung on a 13" octagonal handle. It's best used while hiking, camping, and home use around the yard. This axe is not only more balanced than a single bladed axe due to it’s symmetry, but it also allows you to use one blade for closer ground and grub work where the edge may get dinged up, while the other side remains sharp for typical axe use.
