Surprisingly deft in the hand, Cold Steels Pole Axe is expertly drop forged from 1055 carbon steel. The sharp axe blade and sturdy hammer head are differentially heat treated, leaving the business ends of the Pole Axe hard, and the body a little softer to absorb shock and impact. Our tough American Ash handles are then further reinforced with heat treated black steel langettes. Cold Steel has created a modern monster with power the likes of which has not been seen on the battlefield since the dark ages!Blade length: N/AOverall length: 73.13 inBlade material: 1055Handle material: WoodDoes not come with a sheathWeight: 6 lbs. 13.00 ozBlade finish: BlackWARNING – This product can expose you to chemicals including NICKEL, which are known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.
