3.5 lb. Michigan pattern double-bit axe with a 36″ straight handle. The Michigan pattern originated from the state of the same name. Double-bit axes were sometimes sharpened in different ways. One end was thinner and sharper, used for knot-free cutting; the other end was thicker and blunter, used when knots were present or to cut near the ground, where contact with dirt was likely.

  • Forged tool steel head. Made in the USA.
  • Hand-sharpened double bits for cutting and splitting, sharpened in the same manner.
  • ANSI Standards require a bit hardness of Rc 45-60, with a minimum of ½ inch clearance from the cutting edge. Council Tool internal standards call for tempered bit hardness of Rc 48-55, and we target 1-1/4 inches from the cutting edge.
  • Head coated with red enamel and cutting edges in clear lacquer to deter rust.
  • 36″ double-bit American hickory handle. The eye section is dried to a moisture content of below 10% to minimize shrinkage and help prevent loosening.
  • The axe head is hydraulically seated onto the handle and secured with a serrated aluminum wedge. The serrated shape enhances bite, and the aluminum material choice is both strong and lightweight, and does not change size with changes in moisture content.
  • The interior detail of the eye is tapered, allowing for a strong mechanical bond. Approximately 1/2″ of the overall length of the handle is removed during assembly.
