Review Of the Council Tools Flying Fox
Specs
Head Weight- 1.625 LB
Bit Length- 3-7/8"
Handle- 16" American Hickory
Council Tools has entered into the world of Urban Axe Throwing with their Flying Fox Woodsmen Hatchet. Council Tools makes some of the best and most respected axes and tools in the world and certainly in the United States. With the high quality and durability of all their other designs expectations are pretty high for this new model.
As anticipated the the forging and the steel is impeccable with a highly sharpened blade right out of the box.

There has only been slight dulling of the edge and only a tiny bit of deformation, which came probably from hitting a screw. This axe is still not to the point that resharpening is needed where most others would have needed a new edge several times.
