The Boker Plus Appalachian Axe features a Rhenish-shaped axe head made of 1055 carbon steel. The universally designed blade thickness is equally suitable for felling and splitting. The lower tip (heel) of the 10.7 cm long cutting edge can be used as a turning nose for pieces of wood. The material is protected against rust by a protective lacquer. A versatile weight of 600g was chosen for the head of the axe. For the handles, the best long-fiber breaking American hickory is used, which is far superior to European ash in breaking elasticity and shock load resistance. The handles is double-wedged with a wooden wedge and a steel sleeve. 

With a handle length of roughly 19", this axe is better suited for in-camp chores and medium duty chopping.   Fits nicely between small kitchen axe and a full size forestry axe.
