Description

Snow and Nealley
of Smyrna, Maine
The Camper Set
Penobscot Bay Kindling Axe with full-head leather sheath, Appalachian Trail Map, and Compass
Snow and Nealley is a classic American outdoor brand. After sourcing some materials from China in the late 1990s, the company's new owners have returned to the values upon which the name was built. These axes are made with hickory handles from the American south, American steel, and American leather. They are hardened, sharpened, and assembled in a family-owned craftsman's shop in northern Maine.
A classic gift set from Snow and Nealley, The Camper includes hiking and camping essentials. Purchase it for your next wilderness adventure or gift it to a friend whose interests lie outdoors.
The
Penobscot Bay Kindling Axe
is light and easy to use, even with one hand, but its classic blade provides great cutting power. In addition to splitting kindling, the Penobscot Bay Axe will limb trees and clear brush. This gift set includes a full-head leather sheath for the axe, rather than the blade guard that comes with the axe purchased separately.
The set is packed in a handsome gift box.

What to expect when you receive your new axe
All Snow and Nealley axes are hand-assembled and finished in a small craftsman's shop. You can expect the grain of the axe handle and the texture of the leather guard to vary from the picture in this listing. In addition, there may be slight variations in the finish on the head.
Snow and Nealley gives each axe head a clearcoat finish to prevent rust during shipping. The finish will come off during sharpening and use. This is normal.
Axe heads are hand-tempered and hand-ground. They are shipped sharp enough to cut, but without the final edge that many users will prefer. You may add the final touches according to your preference with a file, grinding stone, or grinding wheel.
