The »Forest Edition« stands for time-tested, functional aesthetics and good visibility in the forest:
  • Compact/functional shape
  • Good visibility
  • High-quality materials
  • Easy-to-sharpen, indestructible axe head
  • Durable robinia handle that defies the elements
  • Highly visible leather sheath made from the finest buffalo leather
  • Highly visible axe collar made from the finest buffalo leather, serves as exchangeable handle protection

The result:
A hand-forged axe made of C60 carbon steel with a dark, dirt-repellent handle made of resilient robinia, a highly visible handle guard and a leather sheath made of durable buffalo leather.
This forest hatchet with typical German head shape, standard since 1935, has a long cutting edge with a slight slope. This ensures a high level of accuracy, making it ideal for limbing small trunks. The double-bent crowbar handle ensures fatigue-free working and can be used safely with one hand thanks to the knob on the end of the handle.
Robinia wood is hard, elastic and fungus-resistant. The dark-coloured iron oxide treatment and the waxed surface give the handle a secure grip and make it resistant to dirt and moisture.
Axe collar and leather sheath are handcrafted from the finest nubuck buffalo leather. The highly visible nubuck buffalo leather is dirt- and water-repellent due to a special treatment. However, should your axe collar ever become worn or unsightly, it can be replaced at any time thanks to the practical lacing.
