Features 5

  • PROFESSIONAL GRADE SINGLE BIT AXE 3.5 lb Council Tool Classic Jersey Axe designed for felling, bucking and general Wood chopping, combining traditional craftsmanship with modern performance for reliable outdoor and forestry use
  • ANTI-STICK BEVELS The forged-in bevels, or phantom bevels, create air pockets that reduce friction and prevent the axe from sticking in wood. This makes each swing smoother and more efficient, with less chance of the axe becoming lodged during use.
  • ICONIC JERSEY PATTERN Known for Its Baltimore Jersey pattern, this axe features distinct lugs or ears that increase the surface area contact between the head and handle. This ensures a more secure and stable connection, enhancing both performance and safety during use.
  • STRONG AMERICAN HICKORY HANDLE The 32-inch curved American hickory handle is dried to below 10% moisture content to prevent shrinkage and ensure durability. The handle is securely hafted with a traditional double wedge system, ensuring a strong mechanical bond between the head and handle for long-lasting performance.

Beautiful axe
Hard not to admire the craftsmanship of this tool. Handle has perfect grain orientation and no run out. Grinds are perfectly symmetrical, and it comes decently sharp, but could use a little touch up. No doubt this axe will last generations.

Bad Shipping
This seller is terrible. I keep ordering this axe and it keeps not getting delivered to me. I’ve ordered lots of things before, never with issues like these. Avoid this seller (Council Tool!) completely.

Awesome for felling and chopping, not so much for splitting
Great felling axe, and it looks fantastic to boot! Note this also comes in the more standard 36" handle so be sure to get the length you want (32 might be right for you but just be aware which version you are purchasing). Some reviewers have praised this as a splitter too, but I cannot report the same. Sticks too often, not great for most serious splitting tasks. There are other axes in the 3.5 lbs. range that would make better "all purpose" axes like the Snow & Neally 3.5# Single Bit Axe, but this is really a cutter first and foremost. So felling, bucking, etc. Also I knocked it a star because it required a lot of sharpening out of the box (not unusual for axes at this price point unfortunately). ... show more

very well made axe
Great axe- I intend to use this on volunteer (multi-day) back country volunteer trail work (mostly logouts). It is my 2nd Council axe- my other is a heavier felling axe (annoyingly long for backpacking). I've also got a Hudson Bay style axe (another manufacturer...) that is even lighter but occasionally proves to be too light for driving wedges needed to keep crosscut saws freely cutting. I know, pretty esoteric use- but perfect for my purpose. The difference in head weight is minor but the added handle length of the (lovely) felling axe makes it awkward on my backpack. ... show more

Worth every penny
Amazingly, well built worth every penny

Garbage- Do Not Buy!!
The grain of the handle is 100% opposite of the way it should lay. I’m severely disappointed and won’t buy an axe from Council Tool online (or perhaps ever if this meets their quality control). I have never seen a worse version and now have to buy a new handle. Even Lowe’s makes a superior handle.
