With its one piece, hot-forged, hollow ground, high carbon 1055 tool steel head and an integrated tang that extends into the handle, the Browning Outdoorsman's Axe is up for the task at hand. Because this axe is specifically designed to reduce hand fatigue and shock and allow the user to take more wood with each swing without binding, more work gets done faster. It's perfect for chores such making kindling or quartering big game.
