Like most Cold Steel products, it looks very good and feels comfortable to hold – the ergonomics are on a very high level. However, at this price, a more solid blade cover for storage would be useful, such as a sheath or case, but there's only a rubber cover.
An axe modeled after the classic Hudson Bay axe. The original was produced for the Hudson Bay Company existing since the 17th century. The flat cap along with the back of the blade forms a right angle to the straight shaft. The appropriate length of the handle makes the axe easy to carry with you, and thanks to its excellent balance it is perfect for chopping and limbing wood for a campfire, as well as for more precise work.
Covered with a black protective coating to protect it from corrosion, the head is made of forged 1055 carbon steel, which has been heat-treated to provide high impact strength while ensuring good working sharpness hold.
The handle on which the head is mounted is made of durable pecan wood. A clamp is placed on the head to provide double protection against slipping of the head from the stylus during work.
