The Small Forest Ax is the the little brother to the Forest Ax, it can do most of the jobs of the Forest ax with the added benefit of being able to be carried in backpacks easier due to the slightly shorter handle and slightly thinner blade..

The mid-sized handle is long enough to allow for effective chopping but not too long so it will fit into a rucksack, the back of a car or a boat. Practical for splitting small sticks for the fire or cutting small-diameter limbwood for starter fuel in a fireplace.

The Forest Ax is the ultimate in Survival Axes, in fact, its the one we use on our Maine Winter Survival Trips and is the preferred ax of most other Maine Guides we know! It is not a "mini-ax with a "folding handle" but instead, a true "traditional" Axe you can bet your life on in a REAL Survival Situation. 

Its high carbon steel blade forged to a thin, curved bit and sharpened to make it suitable for cutting branches in fresh, resinous wood, spruce or pine (blade is easy to sharpen and holds an edge well).  The extra long 25" handle that is long enough to allow powerful chopping but can be made to fit into a backpack or pack basket.

The Forest Ax is best used for cutting small to medium diameter "limbwood" for fuel to building a full scale winter shelter in Maine for temperatures of -30oF.
