The Council Tool 1.7 lb. Wood-Craft Camp Carver with Curved Handle is built for serious woodsmen, carvers, and outdoor craftsmen who demand precision, balance, and rugged reliability from their tools. Forged from high-quality 5160 steel, the axe head delivers an ideal blend of toughness, edge retention, and impact resistance. Its carefully hardened poll adds versatility, allowing it to double as a light hammer for driving stakes or tapping wedges, while the large hatchet eye ensures a secure fit between head and handle for lasting performance in the field.
This compact, 16-inch camp carver strikes a perfect balance between control and chopping power. The shorter handle length and curved profile make it highly maneuverable for one-handed use while still offering enough leverage for splitting and limbing. The bearded blade shape allows for precise carving and close-up work, giving you fine control for detailed shaping, shaving, and bushcraft tasks. Whether you’re processing firewood, crafting tools, or building shelter, this axe performs with confidence and authority.
The handle is crafted from premium American Hickory, known for its exceptional strength, resilience, and shock absorption. The gentle curve of the handle provides a natural swing motion that improves ergonomics and reduces fatigue over long sessions. Every stroke feels intentional and balanced, thanks to the axe’s well-distributed weight and expertly hung head. A welted leather sheath completes the package, protecting the edge during storage or travel while adding a touch of traditional craftsmanship that reflects Council Tool’s dedication to quality.
Proudly made in the USA, the Wood-Craft Camp Carver embodies the heritage of American toolmaking—where durability meets craftsmanship and every detail serves a purpose. Designed to be both a working axe and a precision carving tool, it’s built for those who value performance, dependability, and pride in their gear. Whether you’re deep in the backcountry or working around camp, this carver is ready to handle the job with strength and finesse.
