Cold Steel Trail Boss axe

Description

The Cold Steel® Trail Boss is compact enough to carry all day in your hand or strapped to your pack, yet tough enough for chores that would make a hatchet or tomahawk scream for mercy. Featuring a European style head with an approx. 10 cm blade and an approx. 11.4 cm cutting edge, it takes a big bite with every swing. Plus, it features a very stout straight-grained Hickory handle.

Extensively field-tested in the outback of Australia, the Trail Boss was really put to the test and used to chop kindling, clear roads and trails, build blinds and even chop down a fair sized tree!

1055 High Carbon Steel
The carbon content and lean alloy of this shallow hardening steel make this a very sturdy material that avoids a lot of the brittleness commonly associated with higher carbon materials. Particularly suited to blades requiring impact resistance, it's often seen in large fixed blades and swords.
