Shown here is a new addition to the family; an Axe from Fox. This particular axe's design was inspired by a tool that was used during Rome's heyday. This nifty little companion is made in Italy. The workmanship is nice...the axe is very clean. This isn't a heavy duty axe...though it will probably handle most duties short of cutting down trees. It is light and will ride easily with my pack. The main reason that I bought it is the design; I have a major affinity for the shape, and ergonomics of this particular style.
