Rinaldi "Calabria" Axe

The Calabria pattern axe is a real favorite of ours. The straight bit, while not as deeply penetrating, is more efficient at connecting repeated blows and allows for very rapid felling. Featuring a linear wedge-like (but narrow) taper from the bit to the eye, this axe makes for a good light all-'rounder for both chopping and splitting tasks. The ample, broad haft allows you to either use it as-is or to carve the handle down to your tastes. The eye is tapered and the handle slipped through the top like the handle of a tomahawk or pickaxe, making it easy to fashion a new one in the event of breakage. 700g head.

If selecting the Special Grade option we will thin and refine the factory edge.

Please make sure to use the standard checkout to allow add-on charges to be billed correctly. Any order placed by express checkout will be sent without any add-on services being performed.

Please place orders with surcharges via standard checkout to avoid billing errors. Any order placed via express checkout will fail to bill surcharges correctly and will require separate billing and payment before being released for shipping.

Important Note: On this model only it is very common for the handle-to-head fit to have see-through gaps in the eye despite being a secure fit, and the obverse side of the handle to have a slight gouge in the wood from the fitting process. While these are cosmetic issues we normally consider as "Grade B" in other models, they are common enough with this model that they are considered as normal. Examples that are worse than normal are still given "Grade B" designation.
