Helko Werk Classic Journeyman Pack Axe
The Journeyman is a perfect all-purpose companion for the backpacker, camper, or woodsman. A cross between a hatchet and conventional axe, this tool is designed to be lightweight, compact, and easy to carry while trekking through the wilderness. The weight and length allow for either one or two handed use, and it is equally capable of both cutting and splitting work, perfect for firewood processing and shelter building tasks. Comes with our standard top grade American cow hide leather adjustable sheath.
