1060 High Carbon Steel Head – Power and Precision in Every Swing

At the heart of the Mountaineer Trail Expedition Axe is its 5.75-inch solid forged head, crafted from 1060 high carbon steel—a material prized for its incredible toughness, edge retention, and impact resistance. Whether you're chopping firewood, clearing brush, or crafting shelter, this axe delivers consistent performance with every swing.

The solid forging process enhances the structural integrity of the head, reducing the risk of fractures and ensuring that the axe can withstand the rigors of the wild. Its design provides an excellent balance between chopping power and control, making it versatile enough for both heavy-duty tasks and more precise bushcraft work.

Burnt American Hickory Handle – A Legacy of Strength and Durability

The handle is crafted from burnt American hickory, known for its superior strength, shock absorption, and longevity. The burning process not only enhances the wood’s natural durability but also adds a rich, rustic finish that’s as visually striking as it is tough. This process helps to harden the wood, making it more resistant to the elements while giving each axe a unique, handcrafted look.

The ergonomic design ensures a comfortable grip, reducing hand fatigue during extended use. A protective black leather handle guard adds an extra layer of durability, shielding the handle from overstrikes and wear, while a convenient lanyard hole allows for added security and customization in your carry setup.

Compact Size, Trail-Ready Performance

Measuring 14.8 inches overall and weighing 36.69 ounces, the Mountaineer Trail Expedition Axe strikes the perfect balance between portability and power. Its compact size makes it easy to carry in a backpack or lash to your gear, while its weight ensures enough momentum for efficient chopping without sacrificing control.

This makes it an ideal tool for backcountry adventures, survival scenarios, and bushcraft enthusiasts who need a reliable axe that’s easy to transport but still delivers when it counts.

Handcrafted Leather Sheath – Protect Your Edge in Style

To keep the blade sharp and protected, the axe comes with a handcrafted welted leather sheath. This durable cover not only safeguards the cutting edge but also adds a touch of classic outdoor style. The welted construction provides extra strength, ensuring the sheath holds up over time, even with heavy use in rugged environments.

Designed by Jason Breeden – Innovation Meets Tradition

Designed by Jason Breeden, a respected name in the world of outdoor and survival gear, the Mountaineer Trail Expedition Axe reflects his passion for practical, reliable tools. Every element, from the shape of the head to the curvature of the handle, is designed with real-world functionality in mind, ensuring that this axe performs exceptionally well in diverse outdoor conditions.
