Blade Details

The carbon steel blade is hand forged with a wide chopper profile and a distinctive serrated wavy edge along the top spine. This edge pattern is not decorative — it adds aggressive bite for chopping and splitting tasks. The polished flat face of the blade contrasts beautifully with the raw forged spine, giving this axe a look that is as functional as it is striking. Hardened to approximately 58 HRC for reliable edge retention.

Handle Details

The handle starts with a dark wood core, wrapped tightly in black leather for a firm, non-slip grip during heavy use. Two brass collar rings sit at the upper and lower sections of the wrap, securing the leather and adding a premium metallic accent. The handle is sized for a full two-handed grip at 20 inches overall, giving you the leverage needed for serious outdoor work or display.

Sheath Details

The tan tooled leather sheath is hand crafted with an intricate geometric stamped pattern across the face. Two brass snap buttons secure the blade safely inside. The sheath fits the axe head snugly and is built for belt carry or wall display. It is as much a piece of craft as the axe itself.

Axe Care Instructions

• Dry the blade immediately after any moisture contact — carbon steel can patina quickly
• Apply a light coat of mineral oil to the blade regularly to prevent rust
• Condition the leather wrap and sheath with leather conditioner occasionally
• Store in the leather sheath in a dry, ventilated space
• Sharpen with a file or whetstone along the main edge
