Featuring a wedge-shaped blade with a high centerline, this axe helps prevent sticking, ensuring smooth cuts every time. Its 5 lb. forged tool steel head, made in the USA, provides the strength and durability required for heavy-duty tasks, while the chamfered poll corners make it ideal for driving HDPE plastic felling wedges without causing damage.

Coated with a boiled linseed oil finish, the axe head resists rust and maintains its rugged appearance, while the hand-sharpened, 25° convex bevels on the bit ensure a long-lasting, sharp edge that will perform well on any wood-cutting job. Whether you're splitting logs or felling trees, this versatile axe provides the power and precision you need. HANDLE NUMBER - 70-36S-B

Review: Fantastic tool. - I’ve been through two handles on this axe, it is an excellent wood splitting tool for dense woods like Red Oak or similar, the head geometry is excellent from factory for general cutting, I did take my angle grinder and bring it back a little to where the taper is more convex allowing it to not stick into the logs I was splitting as hard, the poll on this axe is noticeably wide which also makes it conducive for driving wedges, more so than a traditional pattern axe. Council tool has consistently delivered a quality product, they have very high quality handles out of the box as well, I have nothing but positive remarks about their products and company.
Review: Great head…great customer service - Axe was working great. Wonderful splitting axe. Handle exploded after less than 20 minutes of work and i didnt even overstrike. Got ahold of Council Tool and they shipped me a new handle

Axe was working great. Wonderful splitting axe. Handle exploded after less than 20 minutes of work and i didnt even overstrike. Got ahold of Council Tool and they shipped me a new handle

### ⭐⭐⭐ Honest review and modify
*by T***R on March 1, 2025*

I had good grain structure with low runout in my handle. The handle itself, was not taken to a nice finish. The axe was crudely sharp and very rough grind marks left from factory. You can make this axe a real performer. I used an angle grinder/flap disc to sand out the axe head to a smooth finish then hand sanded up to 2000grit. I scraped the varnish off the handle with knife and then sanded the handle with 100,120grit. Scrape the varnish off before you sand, otherwise it will clog sandpaper immediately. I burnt it, then oiled with boiled linseed oil. Axe now, very smooth to swing, well balanced from bit to poll. If you polish the bit, it does not stick in the wood hardly at all. The “FLICK” method splits very well. Factory it’s a 3 - it’s $70 because it was not hand tuned. Hand tune it yourself and you have a great performer.
