Featuring a heavy-duty 5 lb. forged steel head with a black oxide finish, this axe is optimized with a precision blade angle designed to bite deep and chop through logs with minimal physical exertion. To solve the most common failure point in traditional axes, Crescent has armored this model with a specialized steel overstrike guard.

The head is secured using an advanced cone nail attachment system, providing best-in-class pull-off prevention for ultimate jobsite safety. For added versatility on the job, the back of the axe head features a built-in hammer face, perfect for driving stakes or wedges.
