Product Description:
- The Cold Steel Trail Boss is compact enough to carry all day in your hand or strapped to your pack, yet tough enough for chores that would make a hatchet or tomahawk scream for mercy. Featuring a European style head with a 4" blade and a 4 1/2" cutting edge, it takes a big bite with every swing. Plus, it features a very sturdy, durable straight-grained American Hickory handle. In our extensive field-tests in the outback of Australia, the Trail Boss was used to chop kindling, clear roads and trails, to build blinds and even to chop down a fair sized tree! Head weight: 1lb 13 oz (not NATF legal). Total weight: 2lb 9.5 oz.

Link to WranglerStar youtube video endorsing this Trail Boss (there are many other youtube videos about this axe, I just think this one is brief and to the point) - https://youtube.com/shorts/VhFnkk...RHAENK
ALSO, and this seems to be very important, this Trail Boss is ONLY 27" long and the head ONLY weighs 1 lb, 13 oz. More commonly known as a Boys Axe or Camp Axe or Cruiser or Half Axe or Forest Axe and some other nicknames as well. If you are thinking this will be your primary wood splitting axe you will be SORELY disappointed!
Most axes in this range have a head weight from 1 1/2 lbs to 2 1/2 lbs and have a handle length of 24"-28". Comparing this axe to anything outside of those parameters is just not helpful/useful/applicable. These are lightweight axes at best and that is the only category they should properly be placed in.
There are MULTIPLE discussions on "reddit/Axecraft" about this Trail Boss. Here is just 1 of those discussions: https://www.reddit.com/r/Axecraft...came
For COMPARISON - American made, Council Tool for $62.15 shipped: https://www.harryepstei
For COMPARISON - here is a Swisstech Axe from Walmart ($49.97) that has been getting a lot of attention: https://www.walmart.com/ip/28IN-T...5baa59fe09
A HEAVIER option, but in the same pricing arena ($32.00) is this option from Harbor Freight: https://www.harborfreig
One pricier option, ($92) but made by an Amish family in Maine, is this Snow and Nealley axe: https://a.co/d/0hdLEFRG
Hope that helps a little bit. All the best to all you slickers out there! 😁

Using that word on a Slickdeals post when it isn't a price mistake is a mistake.
