Michigan pattern double bit axe with phantom bevels and a 36 in. straight handle. Phantom bevels — or hollows — are designed to reduce sticking and minimize burst wood chips. Michigan pattern originated from the state of the same name. Double bit axes were sometimes sharpened in different ways. One end was thinner and sharper and used for knot-free cutting; the other end was thicker and blunter and was used when knots were present or to cut near the ground where contact with dirt was likely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eForged tool steel head. \u003cb\u003eMade in USA\u003c\/b\u003e.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand sharpened double bits for cutting and splitting, sharpened in the same manner.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eANSI Standards call for bit hardness of Rc 45-60, at least ½ inch back from the cutting edge.
