A double bit axe like this one is popular in axe-throwing and chopping competitions, and with users who prefer the balance of a two-faced head over a single-bit axe.
Yes, each of the two 5 1/4" faces is ground and ready to use, so you have a sharp edge on hand even after one side dulls.
The head weighs 2 1/4 lb, and with the 35" hickory handle, the balance suits full-swing chopping and competition use.
It's hickory, chosen for its length and its ability to absorb shock during a full swing.
