It’s always a joy to add a new member to the Wolf Valley Forge lineup! Each axe brings a special element to the camp, so to speak. If you haven’t met each of our models yet, we’d love to give you a quick introduction! (you can always get to know them better by visiting each model page , or by browsing through the blog)
Let’s start with the big guys.
The Camp Axe is our largest model, with a head weighing in at 2.5lbs. and a 28-inch handle. It’s ready for some real swinging!
The Large Double Bit comes in second place in size, with a 2.5lb. head and a 26-inch handle. It combines classic Double Bit-style with Wolf Valley Forge-style, and this one’s ready for the job!
The Canoe Axe has a 2lb. head and a 26-inch handle. It’s a moderate size for swinging and it’s ready for a big job!
While the big guys are perfect for very large daily jobs, the Bush Axe is really a perfect fit for semi-large jobs around the camp or homestead. It’s got a head weight of about 1lb.8oz. and a 21 inch handle.
The Carpenter’s Axe is just smaller (20-inch handle) than the Bush Axe, and just as versatile, but it’s crowning feature is that distinct straight bit. It’s even the spoon carver’s friend!
The Trekker Axe is a very versatile axe with a sleek design and an 18-inch handle. It’s an excellent choice for camp life, clearing shooting lanes, etc.
And then there’s the Trail Axe . It’s the largest of our “Belt Axe” category, and one we’ve coined the camper’s friend. This axe is a super handy size, with a 15-inch handle and around 1lb. 4oz. of head weight.
The Chipper is our medium “Belt Axe” and is a very pleasant axe to use. It has a head weight of around 1lb. 2oz., and a handle length of 13-inches.
The Timber Pup is such a happy little hand/belt axe. Its compact size makes it super handy to pack and use at the campsite. Its head weight is around 13- to 14-ounces, and the handle length is around 11-inches.
The Nessmuk Reproduction is inspired by George Washington Sears’ idea of a double blade hatchet. Our Nessmuk has a fully functional double bit head (weighing about 1lb. 4oz.), and several handle length options.
Our Kephart Reproduction is inspired by Horace Kephart’s “little trick”. It has a head weight of about 8oz. and a handle length of around 12-inches.
