Adler The Yankee Axe - Hickory Red Stripe 31.5in 110.0h350b211

Built for serious forestry work and outdoor use, the Adler Yankee Axe is a dependable tool engineered for performance, durability, and control. Ideal for felling medium to large-sized trees, it’s equally suited for heavy-duty tasks on the farm or ranch. With its versatile design and rugged build, the Yankee Axe is a must-have for professionals and dedicated outdoorsmen who demand reliability in every swing.

At the heart of the Yankee Axe is a 3.5 lb head crafted from premium C60 carbon steel, hardened to a Rockwell rating of 47-55 HRC. Forged in the classic “Yankee” pattern, the head is mounted securely using a traditional wood wedge and reinforced with two round metal wedges, ensuring long-term stability even under tough working conditions. The result is a strong, precise cutting edge capable of making clean, powerful strikes through hardwood and timber.

The handle, measuring 31.5 inches in overall length, is made from high-grade, U.S.-sourced hickory—a wood known for its exceptional strength, shock resistance, and natural flex. Its ergonomic design reduces vibration and helps minimize user fatigue during prolonged use, making the axe more comfortable and efficient for extended sessions in the field. With a total weight of 5.3 lbs, the balance between head and handle is carefully engineered to deliver controlled swings with less effort and greater impact.

What sets the Yankee Axe apart visually is its rugged dual-tone finish. The handle matte black, anti-slip coating that enhances control during use, especially in wet or cold conditions, while the striking red accents make the axe easy to spot and lend a bold, professional look. It's a tool that works hard and looks the part.

Every Yankee Axe comes equipped with a heavy-duty leather sheath crafted in Lithuania. Reinforced stitching and secure button closures make the sheath as durable as the axe itself, offering safe storage and reliable protection when the tool is not in use. Whether you're transporting it to a worksite or storing it in the shed, this sheath ensures the axe stays protected and ready for action.

Backed by more than a century of German craftsmanship, Adler has been manufacturing trusted tools since 1919. The Yankee Axe continues that legacy, blending time-honored techniques with modern materials to deliver a high-performance tool designed to meet the demands of today’s forestry professionals.
