Our story is tied to the Hudson Bay Axe. We started canoeing in the 1970's in Minnesota's Boundary Waters Canoe Area with our Dad who always carried his trusty Norlund Hudson Bay Axe on those trips.

This one's for you Dad.

Say hello to The Voyageur! Inspired by the Hudson Bay style axe made by Bangor's Snow & Nealley before WWII, the Voyageur has a 2 lb. U.S. 1045 carbon steel head hung on a 24" Amish-turned hickory handle secured by a black walnut wedge.

The Hudson Bay Axe has its roots in the trade axes used by voyageurs and trappers in the north woods and is still used by those canoeing the Allagash, the Boundary Waters of Minnesota or the Northern Forest Canoe Trail.

The Voyageur axe head is patterned after a vintage Maine-forged Snow & Nealley Hudson Bay axe made in Bangor in the 1930's.
