Böker Plus Appalachian Cirvis, lielais

The Böker Plus Appalachian axes feature a Rhenish-shaped ax head made of 1055 carbon steel. This choice represents a higher-than-average carbon content and material standard, even for quality axes. The universally designed blade thickness is equally suitable for felling and splitting. The lower tip (heel) of the 10.7 cm long blade can be used as a turning nose for pieces of wood. The material is protected against rust by a protective varnish. The versatile weight of 600 g was chosen for the heads of both axes. For the handles, the best American hickory with long fibers is used, which is far superior to European ash in terms of breaking elasticity and shock load tolerance. The handles are double wedged with a wooden wedge and steel sleeve. The two models Appalachian Big and Appalachian Small differ in the length of the ax handles. With a 48 cm handle made from the best American hickory wood, this is the longer of the two axes. Negligible in terms of the overall weight difference compared to the smaller axe, the longer handle with the same head weight leads to a higher striking speed and thus a higher impulse and greater depth of penetration into the wood. This ax is the choice for sustained two-handed work. Delivery without leather sheath.
