Beschreibung

From hand-forged axes of the Viking conquests to the American homesteader's felling axe, discover the tool that has shaped human history like few others.

American Axe pays tribute to this iconic instrument of settlement and industry, with rich history, stunning photography, and profiles of the most collectible vintage axes such as The Woodslasher, Keen Cutter, and True Temper Perfect. Combining his experiences as a forester, axe collector, and former competitive lumberjack, author Brett McLeod conveys the allure of this deceptively simple woodcutting implement and celebrates the resurging interest in its story and use.

From hand-forged axes of the Viking conquests to the American homesteader's felling axe, discover the tool that has shaped human history like few others.
