Rinaldi "American" Boy's Axe -- "Grade B"
Product Description
A distinguished variation of the iconic "trade axe" pattern historically produced by North America and Europe for export to Central and South America, this handy compact axe packs some serious features into a small package! In contrast to many axes of this type, the head features a small flat-faced poll, and the handle is elegantly offset to balance the tool in the hand. The eye is tapered and the handle slipped through the top like the handle of a tomahawk or pickaxe, making it easy to fashion a new one in the event of breakage. 700g head.
The only thing wrong with these examples is that the handle is rotated relative to the bit more than we consider acceptable for "A" grade, but will not impact functionality.
If selecting the Special Grade option we will thin and refine the factory edge.
Head Dimensions: 4 and 3/4" x 8 and 3/8"
Overall Length: 24 and 1/4"
Steel: Silicon Manganese Spring Steel at 58RC
Weight: 2lb 5.4oz
