Buck up that pile of firewood fast with this hungry axe. With its long shaft and flared cheeks, the X17 puts ample mechanical advantage behind your swing, so you get to work smarter, not harder. From feeding the wood stove at the cabin, to stoking the fires of basecamp, this axe bites deep into wood and splits more reliably with one strike than traditional axes. Less time chopping and splitting means more time roasting marshmallows. The plastic edge cover secures with a rotating clip and makes a great handle, lash point, or way to hang the hatchet when not in use.
