Have you ever tried to cut something with a dull knife? Depending on what you’re cutting, it can feel like you’re sawing a blade down on a spongy loaf of bread. Now, those same issues can arise with your ax, only the result won’t just be a mangled dinner. When your ax isn’t sharp, it’s far easier for the blade to slip off the target and zero in on various body parts. Lucky for your legs, there’s The World’s Sharpest Axe. Crafted by Council Tool in North Carolina, the head of this ax is made from 5160-grade alloy steel and will hold its edge ridiculously well. Sporting a broad 4 1/2″ face and a shock absorbing American hickory grain handle, this tree-killer performs as good as it looks.
