Council Tools 3.5 lb Dayton Pattern Single-Bit Axe

3.5 lbs. Dayton pattern single-bit axe with 36 in. curved wooden handle or straight fiberglass handle. Dayton pattern is named for the Dayton, Ohio area. A full-sized felling axe for general axe chores. The cutting edge is approximately 4.75″ of overall length and the poll is square.

 

  • Forged steel head.
  • Made in USA.
  • Hand-sharpened, tapered bit for cutting and splitting.
  • ANSI Standards call for bit hardness of Rc 45-60, at least ½ inch back from the cutting edge. Council Tool internal standards call for tempered bit hardness of Rc 48-55 and we target 1-1/4 inches from the cutting edge. The poll and eye walls are not hardened and remain in the forged condition.
  • Head coated with red enamel and cutting edges in clear lacquer to deter rust.
  • 36 in. American hickory handle. Eye section is dried to below 10% moisture content to minimize shrinkage and help prevent loosening.
  • Axe head is hydraulically seated onto the handle and secured with a serrated aluminum wedge. The serrated shape improves bite and the aluminum choice of material is strong, lightweight, and does not change size with moisture content.
  • The interior detail of the eye is tapered and allows for a strong mechanical bond. Approximately 1/2 in. of the overall length of the handle is removed during assembly.
