Designed around one main goal, the Combat Axe was built to answer military and law enforcement needs for a combat and breaching axe. The head features a nice large front cutting face and a hammer end for impact breaching techniques. The Handle is thicker towards the head for better control, and substantial enough to make it easy to wield gloved or not. The butt end of the handle features a wedged breaker tip.
The Blade: Convex ground with nice curve for maximized cutting edge length and length and finished with Caswell black oxide finish. Hammer end for mashing and smashing!
The Handle: Straight profile with hole for lanyard/hand strap. Wedge breaker butt end. Skeletonized, tapered tang for weight savings and optimal balancing.
The Sheath: Kydex scabbard with soft liner and nylon snap loops. Shock cord retention system for fast deployment
