Hudson Bay Premium Velvicut\u003csup\u003e®\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eaxe is a shape and size ideal for camping, hunting or hiking expeditions. The Hudson Bay is small enough to pack and carry yet big enough to get the job done. 2 lbs. head plus handle combines for an overall tool weight of approximately 2-3\/4 lbs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Hudson Bay pattern is believed to have originated in the Biscayan area of Northern Spain and was first used in North America as a trading piece along the fur trade routes. In this Velvicut\u003csup\u003e®\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e, we took a traditional Hudson Bay pattern and added some length to the poll to improve the tool’s balance. After it is drop forged, the axe head is rough ground in a state-of-the-art robotic work cell. Then the hand work begins: an experienced artisan sharpens the cutting edge using increasingly fine abrasives and then finally with leather stropping. Relative to other patterns, the Hudson Bay has a very short eye length. This reduces the contact area between the head and handle, which can lead to looseness.  This new design creates more contact area and bite between the head to handle joint. The result? A stronger and more durable tool.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 24-inch hickory handle (before assembly) is produced from a blank selected for grain orientation and density, making it strong. Our handle pattern features a prominent grip and a slim body that allows the handle to flex a bit, improving its ergonomics. OAL length of finished tool is +-22 in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA sharp axe is a safe axe as it is less likely to glance out of the cut.
