The Solo axe is less than two pounds in weight yet bearing a load of utility the Solo is the multi-use axe for backcountry explorers. The head arrives absolutely sharp on two edges ideal for a variety of cutting applications from trimming limbs creating kindling or clearing a camping area. The sharpened beard is useful for clearing walkways and trails from small intruding branches and can be used for clearing lush vegetation by making cross-body sweeps. The chisel-tipped mattock blade is for trimming bark trenching and backcountry jobs where shaping large pieces of wood is useful. The pipe-backed topline of the mattock serves as reinforcement to reduce wear and damage from accidental contact with the ground while also providing a grip point if choking up on the head for crafting tasks. Includes leather sheath.
