Axe short handle, red elm

This is Roselli's Finnish handmade outdoor axe in practical size with a short handle made out of beautiful red elm, which you can easily take with you everywhere. Now with a new handle design for more optimal balance and to more easily cope with tougher tasks with less effort.

Our axes always keep their promises and are considered by many to be the perfect companion and tool when you go out into the wilderness. Roselli's axes are strong, have an extreme sharpness and can easily be used for felling, pruning and timbering. They are also an outstanding tool for wood splitting and tensioning, as the axes' wide blade angle prevents them from getting stuck when you split.

Comes with a simplistic, dark vegetable tanned Finnish leather case to protect the edge and a practical loop which enables carrying in a belt or attaching to a backpack. The handle is made from red elm and coated with linseed oil to ensure a firm grip, even when wet.
