Wetterlings 23-1/4" Forester's Fine Axe #176 - Blade HQ

The Forester?s Fine Axe has a gracefully forged shape, a hammer neck and a 23-1/4" hickory long handle. The relatively lightweight head in combination with the longer handle gives the axe good balance and swing at strokes. Use for felling, limbing and many other activities. The folks in Canada refer to this as a Canoe Axe. The history of the Forester using marking and stamping axes when evaluating the woods, as well as the tradition of the early Swedish miner and homesteader wearing long-handle, status-bearing axes has inspired Wetterlings to make this axe.
