Prandi German Style Woodworkers Hatchet
The traditional collection from Prandi are super high quality axes and brilliant value. From years of experience Prandi have made a fantastic range at brilliant value and I am amazed they can make such a quality product for the price. The handles on this range of axes are all American Hickory and are brilliantly comfortable and help Helko's axes represent a perfect companion when in the forest.
They chop extremely well and hold an edge for a prolonged period of time due to Prandi's forging and hardening process. They are easily comparable to the well known brands on the market today and surpass them in some areas.
It is the quintessential tool for the experienced woodsman. This axe's compact size bestows substantial versatility, allowing it to be used as both a lightweight work axe and a dependable packing tool. The widened blade allows this axe to perform exceptionally well as a cutting tool, while still being able to handle moderate splitting work. This is the equivalent size of a Scandinavian Forest Axe in other ranges.
This axe comes with a choice of Prandi's top grain leather axe mask.
