• ANSI Standards call for bit hardness of Rc 45-60, at least ½ inch back from the cutting edge. Council Tool internal standards call for tempered bit hardness of Rc 48-55 and we target 1-1/4 inches from the cutting edge. The poll and eye walls are not hardened and remain in the as forged condition.
• Head coated with boiled linseed oil to deter rust with Sport Utility forged finish.
• 28 in. straight American hickory handle. Eye section is dried to below 10% moisture content to minimize shrinkage and help prevent loosening.  Approximately 1/2 in. of overall length of the handle is removed during assembly.
• Axe head is hydraulically seated onto handle, hung proud with a traditional wood and steel wedge.
• Doubles as a faller’s axe, with chamfered poll corners and radius corners all around the outer poll face, so that it does not cause excessive damage while driving HDPE plastic felling wedges.
