J2 Steel Axe Head

The axe head is made from J2 steel and finished by hand. The polished surface gives the head a clean, traditional appearance while reflecting the handmade character of the piece.

Natural Stag & Wood Handle

The handle combines natural stag and wood for a distinctive rustic appearance and a comfortable outdoor-tool feel. Because stag and natural wood are genuine natural materials, color, texture, and pattern can vary from one axe to another. Your piece will have its own individual character.

Leather Sheath Included

A genuine leather sheath is included to help protect the axe head during storage and transport. Keep the sheath and axe dry and allow both to air-dry completely if exposed to moisture.

Handmade Craftsmanship

Each axe is produced with hands-on craftsmanship rather than mass-production styling. Small variations in polishing, natural materials, and finish are normal and help make every handmade piece unique.

Care & Maintenance

• Keep the J2 steel clean and dry after use.
• After hand washing or cleaning, dry the steel thoroughly and apply a light coat of protective oil.
• Avoid leaving the axe in rain, standing water, or prolonged humidity.
• Keep the natural stag and wood handle dry and clean.
• Store the axe in a dry place and use the leather sheath for protection during storage or transport.
• Inspect the handle and axe head connection periodically before use.
