High-Carbon Steel Head

The high-carbon steel head is heat treated to a stated 56–59 HRC hardness range. This provides a durable working edge while retaining the traditional character of a handmade carbon steel axe.

Black Powder Coat Finish

The black powder coat provides a protective finish over the steel and helps reduce exposure to moisture and environmental wear. The coated surface should still be kept clean and dry, particularly around any exposed or working steel.

Handmade Craftsmanship

Each axe is individually crafted, so small differences in finish, texture and handmade details can occur from one piece to another. These variations are normal for handcrafted products.

Care & Maintenance

• Keep the axe clean and dry after use.
• Apply a light protective oil to exposed carbon steel after cleaning or hand washing.
• Avoid leaving the axe in rain, standing water or prolonged humidity.
