VOLANTE is made of high quality Hickory handle and a high carbon steel axe head. The lightweight head allows the thrower to have more accuracy and precision. The VOLANTE axe makes for a great axe for camping or hunting because it is designed to offer considerable power and leverage in a compact size. Ideally suited for light forest work, splitting smaller firewood and felling smaller sized trees. The axe handle is black with "WOOX" in wood across the handle. VOLANTE is made in Italy and in USA.
