Council Tool #2 Hudson Bay Axe 19" Hickory Handle CTCJP20HB19C

The Council Tool Hudson Bay Axe with a 19-inch handle blends classic American craftsmanship with practical field performance. Its forged tool steel head is hand sharpened to ensure a keen, working edge right out of the box. Designed with a tapered bit, it’s ideal for cutting, light splitting, and general camp or trail work. The 4-inch cutting edge provides ample bite into wood, while the head’s weight strikes a balance between power and control for extended use without fatigue.

Fitted with stainless steel hardware for durability, the axe is anchored to an American Hickory handle—renowned for its shock resistance, strength, and natural feel in the hand. The handle’s 19-inch length gives it versatility for one-handed or controlled two-handed swings, making it just as capable by the campfire as it is in the backcountry. A leather sheath is included to protect both the edge and your gear during transport, ensuring it’s always ready when you need it.

Council Tool has been forging quality axes in the USA for over a century, and the Hudson Bay pattern remains a trusted favorite among outdoorsmen, bushcrafters, and anyone who values dependable tools that stand the test of time.
