Typical ax from Northern Italy, from the Bergamo region, where the BR Rinaldi forge is located.
Its humped shape makes it an excellent ax for felling trees close to the ground. It is a forestry ax, so it can also be excellent for pruning and limbing.
You have to get used to its particular shape, but to try it is to adopt it!
Produced in Italy by BR Rinaldi, a family business that has been manufacturing hand-finished axes and semi-industrial tools of great quality and durability since 1780.

NB. The actual weight of the head may vary from the marked weight, since it is a semi-industrial forged tool hand finished with a hammer on an anvil.
This small slurry stone which measures 40 x 40 mm (1.5'' x 1.5'') is particularly useful for bringing out the dye (slurry) of another larger blue Coticule. You simply have to rub it circularly on the other stone and the mud will form in no time.
This wide carpenter's stone measures 160 x 80 mm (6.3'' x 3.15'') is designed for large bevel tools like wood chisels and slicks, but also works great for knives, machetes and other sharp tools.
