Handmade in Germany
The American inspired Hinterland Double Bit is a capable, highly effective felling tool, suited for large
timber. If inclined, the user is able to profile each blade differently and may use, for instance, one edge for
splitting and the other for cutting. Traditionally, one bit was used for heavy work that was prone to dull
the blade, while the other was kept with a finely honed edge. When the logging industry was still reliant
on axes for felling trees, one side of the double bit was commonly used to chop undercuts for large timber, while the
other was held in reserve for fine cutting.
