A hybrid between an axe and a hatchet, the Canoe Axe weighs just over 2lbs and is under 2ft long for a portable, all-purpose tool on our backcountry expeditions. Whether we need to split firewood or forge a path, the wicked sharp blade and one or two hand functionality meet a range of camping, expedition, or survival needs. Total weight is 2.2lbs. The head is made of C45 Steel, Rockwell hardness of 47-55HRC, and weights 1.35lbs.
