famous Rheinland pattern axe head, named for the country's Rhein River Valley, where cutting axes like these have been
in use for centuries. The Black Forest Woodworker performs exceptionally well as a cutting tool for felling small
trees, limbing branches, and clearing saplings. It is also suited for light duty splitting work, such as making
kindling and small firewood.
