Small Poll axes & sheaths

 These small axes are great to used to do all the small chores on a Trek or in camp, like cutting kindling and game prep. It's a much lighter alternative to a belt axe. These are made to be carried over the shoulder. The sheath is made from 3-4oz. veg tan leather, hand stitched and dyed a dark brown and treated with bee's wax. The strap is not adjustable but will fit an average to tall person. Each set is a little different.



These heads are forged from medium carbon steel with a slight hammered finish. Sizes vary a little and it has an oval eye. The size is about 4 1/4" long and has a 2" in cutting edge on average. The axe is fitted with a 12"curly maple handle.
