Handmade in Germany
The Rheinland pattern - a traditional German wide-bit blade - is exceptionally well suited for cutting work.  Handmade in Wuppertal, Germany, these axes are named after the region’s famous Rhein River Valley.  The Rhein was a historically significant source of trade and growth for settlements in the region throughout the medieval period, and cutting axes like these were a daily necessity for people carving out towns and villages in heavily forested regions along the river.  

The Rheinland Pack Axe is lightweight, compact, and easy to carry while trekking through the wilderness.  Comfortable to use one or two handed, this pack axe will excel at making kindling, limbing branches, building your shelter, and other light splitting and cutting work.
