This is the ultimate in Survival Axes, in fact its the one we use on out Winter Survival Trips as well as all of the 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. It is hand-made in Sweden since 1909 by a family owned and operated blacksmith operation (See story below). It's features include:

- 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)

- Extra long 25" handle that is long enough to allow powerful chopping but not too long so it will fit into a backpack or pack basket.

- Practical for splitting applications ranging from cutting small-diameter "limbwood" for fuel to building a full scale winter shelter in Maine for temperatures of -30^oF. 

- It comes with a traditional "grain-leather" sheath and a free 36 page "Ax Booklet" ($8.95 value).
