Description

Last reviewed May 15, 2026

The Boy's Axe is Council Tool's scaled-down Dayton-pattern axe, made in North Carolina by a company in continuous production since 1886. 2.25-pound forged-steel head on an American hickory handle, 24 inches total length, 3.49 lbs assembled. Plain and unpretentious, sized for camp work or fast trail clearing where a full felling axe would be overkill.
