Böker Plus Appalachian Origin Mini Axe

Whether for a cozy fire in the home fireplace or a campfire in front of the tent – the practical Böker Plus Appalachian Origin Mini Axe is an indispensable, compact and versatile axe for camping and household use. As with the other models in the series, the axe head is made of 1055 carbon steel in a Rhineland shape. There are three main differences: While the Small and Big models have robust and universal axe edges, the Origin Mini Axe has a polished knife edge, which also allows for utility carving such as shaping the ends of sticks. Furthermore, the axe head retains its forged, rough surface. Finally, long-grained ash wood is used for the handle, which, unlike hickory, transmits fewer vibrations to the hand wielding the axe. In the days when home stoves were still fired with wood, this type of axe was used for chopping small firewood, as is also needed for outdoor cooking fires. The older trade name "kitchen axe" originates from this time. The leather sheath 09BO257 is not included and can be ordered separately.
