Hardcore Hammers The Forester TR 23" Axe

Hardcore Hammers The Forester TR Axe - 58cm

Introducing The Forester, Hardcore Hammers new TR Axe: a midsize 1.3kg axe featuring a 4140 alloy steel head with a double bit axe/splitter combo, on a 58cm American hickory handle. The Forester comes with a leather sheath.

The Hardcore Hammers Forester TR Axe is a double bit axe/splitting wedge combo. Rather than two virtually identical blades opposing each other that have the same function, Hardcore Hammers have added a 10cm long, 30° wedge designed specifically for splitting logs with ease. The Forester is an axe you can swing all day, easily pack and transport. Made with 4140 alloy steel and through-hardened for both toughness and superior edge retention. This newest member of the Hardcore family comes with their lifetime guarantee against defects and is proudly made in the USA!

The Forester is named in honour of Theodore Roosevelt's Chief Forester, Gifford Pinchot and his impact on American forestry. Pinchot was the head of the Division of Forestry and was named Chief Forester of the new US Forest Service under President Roosevelt. During Pinchot's time in government service and as Chief Forester, the number of national forests grew from 32 to 149, totalling more than 193 million acres.
