What is the best tool for splitting wood? For camping, we believe that tool is the 108 Compadre Froe. The froe is designed for clearing, heavy chopping, splitting, and batoning. The full tang 5160 spring steel goes throughout the entire 16 3/4" (42.5cm) froe, giving it excellent shock absorption and strength you can rely on. The 9 1/2" (24.1cm) cutting edge excels at chopping but also works well for detailed work. Cerakote Cobalt coating gives you added durability and corrosion resistance. The ergonomic handle features natural canvas Micarta that provides superior grip, even in wet conditions. The Froe includes a made in the USA, black, genuine leather sheath with a stainless steel Froe is the perfect took for your camping and general outdoor needs.
Cerakote Coating
Cerakote is a Polymer-Ceramic Composite coating that can be applied to metals, plastics, polymers and wood. The unique formulation used for Cerakote ceramic coating enhances a number of physical performance properties including abrasion/wear resistance, corrosion resistance, chemical resistance, impact strength, and hardness. Cerakote ceramic coatings utilize state-of-the-art technology to out-perform any competitive coating in both laboratory settings and real-world applications.
Micarta
Micarta is known for its strength and durability and is nearly impervious to weather, oils, and solvents, making it slip resistant in wet conditions.
