Council Pulaski Axe - 3-3/4 lb Head - 36" Straight Handle

Council Tool's Pulaski Axe NFES Version are traditional style bit axes with a blade on one end and a mattock blade for digging or grubbing on the other end. Developed by legendary forest ranger Edward Pulaski in the early 1900’s, the NFES Version Axe can be used in a variety of settings including forestry and general landscaping.

• Forged steel head
• Hand sharpened, single bit edge and mattock blade
• The body is coated with black enamel and the cutting edges in clear lacquer to deter rust
• Handle is 36” and made of top-grade, double-bit American hickory
• The eye section is dried to below 10% moisture content to minimize shrinkage and help prevent loosening
