CBX 003 | Compact Bearded Axe (Prototype)

The CBX is back. We have teamed up with custom knife maker Josh Morgan of Primitive Woodsman to produce this new release. The design has been updated with slightly different proportions, a tapered tang, and a flared handle for optimum comfort and balance. The perfect companion for backcountry adventures or your bugout bag. Compact, lightweight, and versatile. Hold at the base of the handle for chopping, choke up behind the blade for finer tasks. 80CrV2 steel, with full tang construction, makes for an exceedingly tough and reliable tool that is also easy to sharpen in the field. This limited prototype run features curly maple scales and a kydex quick access sheath. Made in the mountains of North Carolina.
