The Peavey Double Bit Axe is Council Tool's 3-1/2 lb Michigan pattern double bit on a 36 in straight hickory handle, sold by Peavey Manufacturing with two blade guards.

Both bits come hand-sharpened the same way. Woodsmen traditionally keep one thinner and sharper for clean cutting and the other thicker for knots and cutting near the ground. The forged tool steel head is tempered to Rc 48-55 for 1-1/4 in behind the edge. The eye of the handle is dried below 10 percent moisture to help keep the head tight.

John Pickett Council, a farmer, outdoorsman and tool inventor, founded Council Tool in 1886. The fourth and fifth generations of the Council family run it today, and it makes its axes at its plant in Lake Waccamaw, North Carolina.
