Coming in at 2.75 lbs. and hung on a 30\" Amish-turned hickory handle, it is a little beefier than our Allagash Cruiser so go ahead and tackle those bigger projects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe difference from our Maine wedge pattern Allagash Cruiser can be seen in its thicker poll putting more power when splitting or chopping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn a nod to the Maine axe makers of the past, (and different than the stamp on our other axes) we stamped \"Brant \u0026amp; Cochran S. Portland, ME\" on the head.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eComes with a Maine-made leather sheath.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne difference between The Acadian and our Allagash Cruiser is the extra weight and width of the poll. This gives The Acadian more splitting power when balanced on a 30\" Amish-turned hickory handle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo honor Maine's axe industry, the stamp on our Acadian pays homage to its great makers such as Spiller who proudly stamped the city where they forged their axes.
