The Hiking axe is a practical and sturdy tool for camp and wilderness life. It works excellently for felling smaller trees and chopping kindling for a fire, fireplace, or stove. The handle is slightly longer, and the axe head is somewhat heavier than other small camping axes, contributing to better leverage when chopping. The axe comes with a leather cover for the axe head to protect it during storage and on the handle to safeguard it during use.
