Customer comments about the 22BR24C:
“I just wanted to say that I learned about Council Tool within the past year. I am involved in bushcraft and camping and when the announcement came out that CT was going to produce some higher quality axes aimed at my hobby, most of us took notice. Earlier this year, I saw a video on YouTube by Israel Turley of Turley Knives on your Boy’s Axe. He thought very highly of it and showed that a $40 tool made in the USA could compete with Wetterlings and Gransfors Bruks. I ended up buying a Boy’s Axe online and just used it for the first time this weekend. It is an excellent axe! I am very, very pleased with it and I’m looking forward to many long years of use.”

Paul Cox –
pack ability. Bought the forestry service specs version of this axe some 8 years ago and use it all the time while I’m cutting my 6 cords of firewood every year. Great quality, excellent edge retention and easy to sharpen. Reissue these if you can please.
