Council Tool Forest Service Axe (Any Appearance)

A NOTE ON FREE SHARPENING:

We no longer offer free sharpening on Council Tool axes purchased without a sheath. There have been several customers who have taken us up on our free sharpening and have injured themselves because they didn't use a sheath. We still offer free sharpening on Council Tool axes that already come with a sheath (the Velvicut line, the Short Camp Axe, and the Long Camp Axe), but for liability purposes must ensure our customers have a sheath to go with their razor sharp axe. While we're out of large Council Tool sheaths, we will allow free sharpening without purchase of a sheath on the Jersey and Dayton axes.

We have had these axes in the past when we were able to buy government (forest service or military) contract overruns, and they were wildly popular. It has been more then a year since we have had any, but we still get inquiries about them, so Council tool agreed to run a batch of these for us. Since there were some complaints about the grade of handle on the Forest Service spec axes, we opted to upgrade to the handle from the Velvicut Bad Boys axe, making this one of the best axe options you can find.

We have divided the axes into groups based on appearance details.  We think this is a win for every one.  Those who want a certain look can get it; those who just want a great tool can save some money. If you want a particular look, please check out this page. There is a comments section at checkout where you can tell us what look you'd like (grain alignment, wood color, etc.)

Please choose your sheath option from the drop-down menu:

Price for standard sheath: $16.00
Price for Velvicut (full-cover) sheath: $25.00

We recommend using Axe Wax on your handle, which you can find here.

Due to the popularity of these axes, selecting sharpening may delay your order by a few days.
