The compact X14 universal axe works with your body, masterfully balanced and tailored for comfortable one-handed use. The innovative ultra-sharp, forged steel blade is designed to disperse wood more effectively and is double-hardened to maintain its sharp, precision-ground edge. The refined blade angle ensures clean, smooth cuts even through fresh, resinous wood. The low-friction coating helps the blade glide through wood and offers extra protection against rust. An overmolded axe head ensures an inseparable connection to the handle. The virtually unbreakable design of the X-series axes features a lightweight, remarkably strong FiberComp™ handle that absorbs shocks and provides superior protection against overstrike. The ergonomically curved handle keeps your wrist in a comfortable, neutral position and has a strategically textured SoftGrip™ for a confident, secure grip.
