The Trail Boss from Cold Steel is light and compact enough to carry all day in your hand or strapped to your pack, yet heavy and tough enough for chores that would make a hatchet or regular tomahawk scream for mercy. Featuring a drop forged 1055 carbon steel, European style head with a 4 1/2" cutting edge, it takes a big bite with every swing. Plus, it features a very stout straight-grained Hickory handle.
