The lighter version of the classic single-bit axe, the Snow & Nealley 2-1\/4 lb. Single Bit is small enough to be practical for all jobs, yet big enough to get the job done. This is a versatile utility axe that works well for sharpening fence posts, pounding garden stakes, limbing a felled tree, and all sorts of other practical tasks at home and in the woods.
\nHardened in Snow & Nealley’s furnace and ground on their stone wheels, this axe provides you a factory edge unlike the rest. Like all our Snow & Nealley axes, the 2-1\/4 lb. Single Bit Axe is made in Maine of 100% US steel and hickory. A leather blade guard is included for your safety.<\/p>\n
All Snow and Nealley axes are hand-assembled and finished in a small craftsman’s shop. You can expect the grain of the axe handle and the texture of the leather sheath to vary from the picture in this listing. In addition, there may be slight variations in the finish on the head.<\/p>\n
Snow and Nealley gives each axe head a clearcoat finish to prevent rust during shipping. The finish will come off during sharpening and use. This is normal.<\/p>\n
Axe heads are hand-tempered and hand-ground. They are shipped sharp enough to cut, but without the final edge that many users will prefer. You may add the final touches according to your preference with a file, grinding stone, or grinding wheel.<\/p>\n
