A. G. Russell Camp Ax

For about a year and a half in '96-'97, we sold our original "Goose Wing" ax. Sadly, we lost the U.S. maker and have been without until now. Our principal Italian maker is now making it for us. The only change is Swedish steel instead of U.S. and we have reduced the length of the scales from two hand to hand and a half.

The most beautiful axes in history were the Goose Wing Axes of the Germanic Peoples of the 12th to 18th Centuries. I have used those designs as the base for this 1990's design intended for the camper-hunter who wants to carry it all. The quality leather sheath can be carried with a strap or hung from a belt. This solid ax weighs only 1-3/4 lbs. Suitable for quartering game of any size or for cutting saplings for a lean-to or logs for a more permanent shelter. I would prefer a longer handle for cutting trees over 12" thick, but I would not want to carry that long ax in the woods. This one measures only 14-1/2" overall, with a 6-1/2" cutting edge.
