Each Axe is struck with the Forgers initial and the date of manufacture!

Beautiful Hand Made Axe from Brant and Cochran of Maine USA. Quality materials, time taught Skills, passion for the outdoors and for keeping the traditions of Tool manufacture alive, all combine to make the Axes that come out of this South Portland Shop some of the very best you can buy.

There are long wait times for these Axes and they are made in small numbers. Each Axe is struck with the forgers Initial and the Year of manufacture.

Superb 28in Maine Pattern Axe, made in South Portland, Maine! based on the classic 'Maine Wedge' Axe pattern with the large poll the Axe is a superb cutter, great for light felling and limbing, portable too, its a great Canoe and Camp Axe.

Comes with a custom leather Blade Cover (also made in Maine!)

Ash handle (yes also grown and made in Maine!)

Here she is!  The only Maine wedge pattern camp axe being made today.  Forged in our shop in South Portland from 1050 carbon steel, this 2.5 lb. axe is hung on a 28" Amish turned hickory handle and comes with a custom Maine-made leather sheath.

Adding to the historical accuracy of the axe pattern, we emboss the year of manufacture and maker's initials on the head --- just like Oakland, Maine's Emerson & Stevens did in the early 1900's.  And in honor of Maine's bicentennial in 2020 we are stamping a "Dirigo" star on the axe head!

The axe comes wicked sharp and tempered to a Rockwell hardness of 56-58 so she'll keep an edge after hours of use.
