The Lock-Slot 8 Forcible Entry Axe is a perfectly balanced 
Force Axe in the hands of a firefighter for striking a halligan type 
forcible entry bar. The Lock-Slot 8 features a  drop forged head of high
 carbon steel, rockwell heat-treated and coated with anti-rust zinc 
plate. The "marrying slots" lock the halligan to the axe for easy carry 
by one hand - no straps needed.  To quickly release from the married 
position, simply tap the handle on any surface. The Lock-Slot 8 handle 
is a yellow triple strength fiberglass handle with a deer's hoof knurled
 bottom grip.
