This heirloom-quality axe has a 1.75 pound axe head with a Maine wedge shape on a 17-inch hand-turned hickory wood handle. Included with the Dirigo is a Maine-made leather sheath to cover the extremely sharp edge while you're relaxing by the fire or hiking to the campsite.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Dirigo can be stashed in a pack for use on the trail or at the campfire, stored beside your fireplace for splitting wood and kindling during the long winter, and used around the fire pit. The head's razor sharp edge is forged into a Maine wedge pattern, heat-treated to a Rockwell hardness of 56-58, and honed to be \"wicked\" sharp, as they say in Maine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBrant and Chochran axes were named among of the four best axes in the world by \u003cem\u003eField and Stream\u003c\/em\u003e magazine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo create this exceptional axe, axe makers forge, grind and sharpen the axe head by hand. Each one is then stamped with the Brant and Cochran logo, the initials of the axe maker, and the year the axe was made. Finally, it is heat treated, fine-tuned and sharpened for use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce the axe head is ready, it is hafted, or attached to the handle, which is an Amish-turned hickory wood handle designed by Brant and Cochran. The handle is then conditioned, waxed, and put into the sheath for shipping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures of the Dirigo Belt Axe:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand-forged in Portland, Maine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMedium carbon steel axe head with Maine wedge pattern edge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAmish-turned hickory wood handle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeat treated to Rockwell 56-58\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStamped with initials of axe maker and date of manufacture\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHailed by Field and Stream as one of the four best axes in the world\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCustom, Maine-made leather axe head cover included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eWeight of Axe Head:\u003c\/em\u003e 1.75 pounds\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eHandle Length:\u003c\/em\u003e 17-inches\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Brant and Cochran","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41850629980265,"sku":"BNCDIRIGO","price":299.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0258\/3566\/7561\/files\/BNCDIRIGO-Dirigo-Belt-Axe-Hero-Shot.jpg?v=1726762851"},{"product_id":"fox-knives-yankee-axe","title":"Fox Knives Yankee Axe","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eFox Knives Yankee Axe\u003c\/strong\u003e is an Italian-made axe with an wooden handle and burnished C45 steel blade.
