Ever since Council Tool released their full size and Hudson Bay Velvicut axes, camping gear people have been asking about whether they will release a boy's axe. They had promised that one was in the works, and it is finally here. Council Tool is calling it the "Bad Axe Boy's Axe". :)
The axe reportedly has a 2.25lb head, and a handle length of 28 inches. Now, I know Council Tool lists their handle lengths prior to fitting, so it it is like the other Council Tool axes, the fitted handle will probably end up being survival gear closer to 26 inches in length. The handle is made of hickory.
The Dayton pattern head is made from the same 5160 steel we have seen in the other Velvicut axes, and will be heat treated to approximately Rc 51-56.
The axe costs $140.00 and will start shipping out early June of this year. You can place your order now with Council Tool here.
