Acadian Firewood Axe Half Wedge

Now With An Upgraded, New England Style Handle!

We honor the Acadians, those hearty French Canadians, who tamed the north woods of Maine and Eastern Canada, with our new half wedge axe. Coming in at 2.75 lbs. and hung on a 30" Amish-turned hickory handle, it is a little beefier than our Allagash Cruiser, so go ahead and tackle those bigger firewood splitting projects.

The difference from our Maine wedge pattern Allagash Cruiser can be seen in its thicker poll, adding more power when splitting wood or chopping. Its wedge-shaped head is designed for efficient wood splitting and makes a dependable wood splitter for the woodpile.

In a nod to the Maine axe makers of the past, (and different than the stamp on our other axes) we stamped "Brant & Cochran S. Portland, ME" on the head.

And we just redesigned the handle to make the Acadian more comfortable to swing! A thinner, New England style handle turned to our design by an Amish community.

Comes with a Maine-made leather sheath.
