Technical Hachette because the head is "casting" in the sleeve composite material, it is therefore unlikely that it stands in a coup as with conventional axes. The blade is very sharp and strong, given its small size it is perfect for use recreational camping, garden ... Sold with a beautiful finish Cordura accessory, very écurisée and allowing its port has the belt: the blade is protected, no risk of accidents. I am very happy with my purchase with this ax slashing of my garden is a pleasure, in 2 moves I cut a small branch ... I feel like Robinson Crusoe :)
