The Classic Scout is a smaller lightweight felling axe well suited for general use tasks. Its size, commonly referred to as a "boy's axe", is a comfortable weight and is designed to take on lighter to medium duty cutting or splitting work. It's a perfect companion as your "go-to camp axe". Despite its' smaller size, the Classic Scout has long been a favorite to those who just don't quite need the full power of it's larger brother, the 3.5 pound Classic Forester Axe. The Classic line is a premium set of felling axes and hatchets that meld versatility, functionality, and aesthetics into a truly unique and eye-catching tool. These axes are an ideal choice for those in search of a general purpose axe that is both stylish and effective. After the head is forged and heat treated, it is ground and polished to a highly reflective finish that reduces friction when splitting and improves rust resistance.
