Garrett Wade is happy to announce the return of the vintage-yet-never-used Swiss Army Axes. Those who missed out on these beautiful tools the first time have one more chance at a unique piece of history as well as a solid, dependable, Swiss-made Axe.
We think that, because of their size, they are designed for campsite and clearance work. The Chopping Axe (that's what we are going to call it) has a 23" handle and weighs almost 5 lbs. The neck is so deep (2-1/2") near the head that it seems almost "reinforced". This has to be deliberate. Its unusual weight gives it great momentum (power) when swung. It's a serious tool. Nothing subtle about it at all.
The smaller Camping Axe has a 15-1/2" handle and weighs 2-1/4 lbs. Its size makes it a perfect campfire/kindling tool - easy to handle one-handed and easy to carry when foraging.
The price that we have been able to put on these two beautiful tools makes them opportunities not to be missed. Despite their age, they are clean as a whistle - having been stored in perfect conditions. Again, in very limited quantities.
