Ancienne hache collections Cohoes MFG CO. hache large - bord massif 12,75" - 8 lb 5 oz

This is an exquisite example of a Pennsylvania pattern broad axe manufactured by the Cohoes Axe Mfg. Co. of Cohoes, NY. The Cohoes Axe Mfg. Co. Was a contemporary of many other well known Cohoes Axe manufacturers, including A.G. Peck, D. Simmons, and Ten Eyck.

This broad axe only weighs 8lbs 5.2oz including the handle, which isnt abnormally heavy for a broad axe, but the blade is very wide and deep. It is nearly 13 inches heel to toe. It has a custom hickory handle that is in line with the blade and back swept, hung for right handed hewing (bevel to the right when in use). The edge is sharp, as this was restored with the intent to be used.
