Handmade in Germany
The Bavarian Woodworker is a full-size traditional German cutting axe, with the heft and power required for heavy felling work.  The 3 ½ lb. Rheinland pattern axe head has a sharp, slim, wide-bit blade that will outperform most American pattern felling axes at cutting work.  The pattern is named after Germany's famous Rhein River Valley, a heavily forested region where cutting axes like these have been in use for centuries. This axe is well suited for felling large trees, and can also be used for splitting medium firewood.  Perfect for the farm, home, or cabin.
