How do you define passion? Staying with a craft for 30 years makes a good start. In surfboard maker Barry Snyder’s case, staying counter to trend and convention along the way is just as critical.

The axe is a tool taken from a time when the phrase “carving out a living” was taken literally. For our axes and hatchets, not much has changed. Made from drop-forged American-made alloy steel resting on a well-balanced Appalachian hickory handle, they’re the kind of well-used tools that forged a country.

Made of rugged powder-coated steel, manufactured to a high standard of quality and made entirely in the United States. There’s nothing finer to park chisels, drivers and hammers inside. After all, what comes out of our workshops starts with what we put into them.
