This professional root-cutting axe is the best of both worlds. While it may look like a pickaxe or a mattock, if you look carefully, this unique Japanese tool is actually quite different.
While the pick end remains the same, the other end is flipped on its head. While the adze of a mattock and the chisel of a pickaxe are both horizontal, the blade of this root cutting axe is vertical, similar to a standard axe head. It's not as broad as an axe head, and has a similar shape and size to an adze head, only vertical.
The other key difference is that the cutting edge of the blade is concave, making it the perfect blade to slice through roots in the field.
If you have a garden, plot or field with a lot of roots, tree stumps, rocks, and compacted dirt, this is the perfect tool for you.
The ideal tool for clearing rough land before hoeing and planting. The hammer-forged carbon steel head has been carefully crafted by experienced Japanese blacksmiths, and the long, Japanese oak handle is not only comfortable to hold, but also supremely durable.
