label: Notes
content: From card: "With long, narrow blade, short handle. "When using this axe the Fang strike very fast and it is really surprising how much they can accomplish with it. When felling large trees, especially when they are very thick near the ground, the Fang usually climb to a height of 15' or 20' suspending themselves by strong vines." Acc. papers tell how to sharpen such an ax."
