Hail the little brother of the Allagash Cruiser! The Dirigo Belt Axe is a Maine wedge pattern axe crafted using the same U.S. tool steel, hickory for its handle, and forged in the same manner as the Allagash Cruiser. It is just a little smaller with a 1.75 lb. axe head hung on a 17” handle. Perfect to put in a backpack to use on the trail, split wood and kindling around the campfire, fire pit, wood stove or home hearth. The Dirigo Belt Axe may be a little smaller than the Allagash Cruiser but still packs a wallop! Each Dirigo Belt Axe comes with a custom Maine-made leather sheath to keep you safe from its wicked sharp bit. And now you can get your name or initials laser engraved on your Dirigo Belt Axe making it that much more of a family heirloom to pass down for generations! The heart of the Dirigo Belt Axe lies in its iconic Maine wedge pattern axe head, weighing in at 1.75 lbs. Each axe head is individually forged to our exacting standards, heat treated to a Rockwell hardness of 56-58 and honed until it is “wicked sharp.” To celebrate our 10th anniversary of bringing axe making back to Maine, we are stamping each of our Dirigo Belt Axes with a pine tree & north star stamp and our anniversary logo on the sheath! **ALLOW 8 TO 10 WEEKS FOR DELIVERY AS THESE ARE MADE TO ORDER!**
