I got exactly a 26" axe once done. - Wow I love this axe! This seller had a great price on the 18 inch model. I changed the handle to a 26 inch and couldn't be happier. Blade came razor sharp πŸ‘Œ Review: Every man should own a quality hatchet like the Council Tool Wood-Craft Pack Axe - I bought this, I don't know why, I live in an apartment, but I love it. It is so beautiful just to look at. I have often found myself just staring at it. The hammer side and the blade area are hardened steel. There is a little bluing, where it was hardened, which is very impressive looking. I would never use it to hammer anything as I am sure I would split my head open-even with the sheath on. I did sand the handle and apply a few coats of boiled linseed oil because you know. It didn't change the color much. The handle is ever so slightly warped to one side. I could bend it back but I think I'll just leave it be since it is barely noticeable and it is wood after all. I tried it out on a tree that had fallen and it was fine but not much better than my $13 hardware store hatchet, which has a shorter handle, is lighter and, which I had sharpened. I will, of course, take this Wood-Craft Pack Axe camping. I may just go camping so I can take it. Myself, I would have liked a smaller and thicker handle. The experts, however, like a thin longer handle because it is less tiresome to use, they say. The price is very fair considering the competition is almost twice as expensive. All in all, I feel like I should put on a suit of armor, mount a horse and carry this bad boy into medieval battle. ## Features - MADE IN USA - 19" HICKORY HANDLE - 2LB HEAD - 5160 STEEL - FLAT GRIND 25 DEGREES ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B01F448COW | | Blade Edge | Flat | | Blade Material | Alloy Steel | | Brand | Council Tool | | Brand Name | Council Tool | | Color | wood handle, silver head | | Colour | wood handle, silver head | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 134 Reviews | | Handle Material | Wood | | Handle material | Wood | | Head Type | Hewing | | Head Weight | 900 Grams | | Head type | Hewing | | Included Components | Sheath | | Item Dimensions L x W | 48.3L x 48.3W centimeters | | Item Weight | 3.81 Pounds | | Item weight | 3.81 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Council Tool Company | | Manufacturer Part Number | WC20PA19C | | Model Number | WC20PA19C | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Product dimensions | 48.3L x 48.3W centimeters | | Style Name | Classic | | UPC | 008298161021 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Council Tool - **Colour:** wood handle, silver head - **Handle material:** Wood - **Head type:** Hewing - **Product dimensions:** 48.3L x 48.3W centimeters ## Images ![COUNCIL TOOL Wood-Craft Pack Axe - 2 lb Camping Axe, 19" Hickory Handle with Leather Sheath, Made in The USA - WC20PA19C - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Hq3gw9hDL.jpg) ![COUNCIL TOOL Wood-Craft Pack Axe - 2 lb Camping Axe, 19" Hickory Handle with Leather Sheath, Made in The USA - WC20PA19C - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81yNvUdWHBL.jpg) ![COUNCIL TOOL Wood-Craft Pack Axe - 2 lb Camping Axe, 19" Hickory Handle with Leather Sheath, Made in The USA - WC20PA19C - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81Exvs2vDML.jpg) ![COUNCIL TOOL Wood-Craft Pack Axe - 2 lb Camping Axe, 19" Hickory Handle with Leather Sheath, Made in The USA - WC20PA19C - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91eL6KmJRoL.jpg) ![COUNCIL TOOL Wood-Craft Pack Axe - 2 lb Camping Axe, 19" Hickory Handle with Leather Sheath, Made in The USA - WC20PA19C - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71K1IzoYk0L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: can anyone compare this to the hults bruk akka and the Granfors scandi please** A: They are somewhat similar. The Gransfers Bruks Scandinavian axe is a small axe designed for felling trees. The Hults Bruk Akka is more for general camp use. It has the lightest head of the three. The Council Tool WoodCraft Pack axe is a compact axe more designed for general camp use and carving. The head grind is quite different, and it is made of 5160 steel, which is a extra-tough steel made to withstand chopping and carving with an acute, 25-degree edge. The poll is also hardened so you can pound with it without mushrooming the poll. You can get more accessories with the WoodCraft Pack axe. All of these have short handles -- 24-25 inches -- so you will have limited power but more portability. **Q: Where was the sheath?** A: The sheath comes packaged in cardboard (short of a box without ends) in the same box with the axe. **Q: Is this the latest model with 'usa' and the council logo only, stamped on the axe head?** A: Stamped 'COUNSIL TOOL USA WOOD-CRAFT PACK AXE' on ax head. **Q: The grain on the handle we see in the stock photo isn't straight. Can we guarantee a straight grain on the handles when we buy an axe?** A: It’s hard to say each handle comes from a different tree so the grain differs from handle to handle what you need to be concerned with is if the grain goes in the direction of the ax head by looking at the bottom of the handle it’s not going to be perfect but you don’t get perfect in much much more expensive Swedish ax makers! Mine came in the mail and it was almost perfect but a little love, sweat and oil looks and performs well. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Get the 24" or re-hang the 18" with a 28" handle.
