Council Tool 5# Fallers/Logger SB Axe CTC50D28S

The Council Tool 5 lb Fallers/Logger Single Bit Axe is a heavy-duty workhorse designed with precision and balance for professionals who demand serious chopping power. Engineered for fellers, loggers, and land management crews, this axe brings together time-tested materials and rugged design to handle the most punishing tasks in the field.

At the heart of this axe is a 5 lb forged tool steel head built for strength and longevity. With a 4.34-inch bit length from toe to heel and an overall head length of 7.37 inches, it offers a powerful cutting surface and a geometry tailored for aggressive chopping. The 5-inch cutting edge is honed for deep bites and smooth releases with each swing, while the convex bevel and wedge-shaped bit provide excellent splitting performance without excessive sticking in the wood.

What sets this axe apart is its expertly balanced head. Designed with a longer poll and improved front-to-back weight distribution, it delivers powerful, fluid swings that minimize fatigue and maximize control. The chamfered poll is forged strong and shaped to reduce mushrooming and deformation over time, making it ideal for heavy impact tasks.

The axe head is coated in red enamel for protection against rust and wear, with the cutting edge finished in clear lacquer to prevent corrosion while showcasing the steel’s craftsmanship. This finish helps maintain edge integrity and prolongs the working life of the axe even in wet or demanding environments.

Mated to the head is a straight 28-inch handle crafted from premium American hickory, known for its resilience and shock absorption. Kiln-dried and shaped for a firm grip and excellent control, the handle is hydraulically seated into the axe head and secured with a serrated aluminum wedge. This setup ensures a secure fit that resists loosening, swelling, or shrinking with moisture changes.

Designed and manufactured in the USA, the Council Tool 5 lb Fallers/Logger Axe stands up to the daily abuse of hard timber work, delivering performance and reliability in every swing. Order it today from SMKW!
