Council Tool has been crafting durable and affordable axes in the good ole U. S. of A. since 1886, so they kinda know what they’re doing. We’re excited to offer you two of their fine tools to make quick work of wood at a campsite, your backyard, or deep in the forest. The first is their Hudson Bay Camp Axe, a 2lb beast with an 18″ hickory handle ready to handle the cutting and splitting during your next excursion. The second is their top-of-the-line Velvicut Premium Hudson Bay Camp Axe, which is a more robust version of the classic camp axe. It boasts 5160 grade alloy steel that’s been treated for maximum edge retention, a grade A American hickory handle, and a premium leather sheath. Both are built with the same care and quality Council Tools has been known for for well over 100 years.
