Designed by a wildfire-fighting forest ranger, the Pulaski axe pairs a compact axe and a mattock to create a tool that shines in the great outdoors. Ed Pulaski needed a tool that was powerful and versatile, able to chop wood, clear roots or dig trenches. Constructed from strong 1055 carbon steel, the tool-head will provide decades of loyal service and is easy to sharpen. The broad mattock blade cuts smoothly through hard earth and tough roots, so channelling rain flow away from your tent has never been easier. The Pulaski axe's handsome beechwood handle has a solid steel core, adding reliable heft and strength. A snap-on leather sheath protects you and the edges when not in use.
