Council 2# Hudson Bay too.


They used to be alright, but IIRC they then took production over seas. Then a couple years ago, they were bought and the new owner was restoring production in ME. This is all from fuzzy memory.


Snow & Nealley® axes are being made once again in the USA thanks to an Amish man and his sons who bought the iconic brand. Caring deeply about their work, they drop forge each blade from high carbon steel, then hand-temper, grind and finish it. The result is top notch craftsmanship you'll notice.

My Snow & Nealley was bought in the late 1980's.
