The tool is made from a laminated design with a high carbion edge steel with forge-welded softer covers of lower carbon steel on each side. The back striking surface is reinforced with a high carbon steel cover to allow for use as a hammer while preventing damage to the axe.

The edge is about 5 3/8" long, and total length ogf the axe is about 20 inches, includingf the curved handle. The edge is beveled on both sides. The tool holds a durable, razor sharp edge for a long time if well taken care of. A heavy duty leather cover is provided for protection of the cutting edge.
