WOOX INTRODUCES NEW SOLO BACKCOUNTRY AXE

WOOX, producer of premium gear for the great outdoorsman, is excited to announce the new Solo axe for hunters, campers and explorers desiring an elegant multi-purpose implement that can withstand the rigors of backcountry adventuring.

The 8.5” wide tempered carbon steel (C45/1045) slip-fit head has two cutting edges, the primary edge measuring 3.5 inches. The opposing side of the head is a  mattock, proficient in fine point-work and digging tasks. The handle of Appalachian Hickory and available in Brown or Black, each with detailed checkering for a superior grip, measures 19 inches. The Solo weighs 1.85 pounds and every axe includes a genuine Italian leather sheath.

“The Solo is designed in concert with renowned axe maker Benjamin Bouchard specifically for those who make their own path, oftentimes finding themselves alone enjoying a personal experience in the outdoors,” said Danilo Minello, CEO of WOOX. “The dual cutting edges and mattock make the Solo a true multi-tool for those conscientious of the weight they carry and getting every bit of use from that gear.”

The head arrives absolutely sharp on two edges, ideal for a variety of cutting applications from trimming limbs, creating kindling or clearing a camping area. The sharpened beard is useful for clearing walkways and trails from small intruding branches and can be used for clearing lush vegetation by making cross-body sweeps.

The chisel-tipped mattock blade is excellent for trimming bark, trenching and backcountry jobs where shaping large pieces of wood is useful. The pipe-backed toppling of the mattock serves as reinforcement to reduce wear and damage from accidental contact with the ground while also providing a grip point if choking up on the head for crafting tasks, and aids in splitting tasks.

“At less than two pounds and adding a load of utility, the Solo is a fantastic all-around tool for anyone going beyond the backyard and living off what they carry in on their back”, said Chip Hunnicutt, VP Marketing for WOOX. “Every Solo is backed by the WOOX 100 Years of Service commitment that includes free blade sharpening.”

The Solo is available for $149.00 MSRP and is shipping now.
