Handmade in Germany

The American inspired Odyssey Double Bit is a capable, highly effective felling tool, suited for large timber. If inclined, the user is able to profile each blade differently and may use, for instance, one edge for splitting and the other for cutting.  Traditionally, one bit was used for heavy work that was prone to dull the blade, while the other was kept with a finely honed edge.  ​When the logging industry was still reliant on axes for felling trees, one side of the double bit was commonly used to chop undercuts for large timber, while the other was held in reserve for fine cutting.  The head is buffed and polished to a highly reflective finish that reduces cutting friction and improves rust resistance.
