Japanese Made Hand Axe
Sale price$88.50
Description
This is a tough axe with great balance. The white oak handle is strong and comfortable. The 4-1/2" High Carbon steel blade has a "bearded" shape, which brings the center of gravity closer to your hand. The fully forged Japanese milled HighCarbon steel gives the super-sharp edge great strength. It will be particularly good for splitting kindling. Overall length: 13". This unusual design is based on an axe from the Kofun period in the 3rd Century. It's made for us by blacksmiths in the Niigata prefecture. Japanese tools frequently look different, but those that try them inevitably find them wonderful to use.

Well made product that will
"Well made product that will serve my kindling purposes. Only complaint are the stickers on the handle, will be a bear to remove them. Can you try hang tags instead?"

Great Hatchet
"Perfect little hatchet for splitting kindling. Good quality Japanese steel! Very happy with it."
Sharp and Comfortable to Use
"I like this hatchet! It's great to be able to slide your hand right behind the head for precision work, then hold the bottom of the handle for full-force swings. It's sharp enough to use on arrival, and it takes down unwanted saplings with just a few strokes."

- Sarah, the axe weighs 1.65 lbs. Thank you.
- Does this axe come with a sheath and/or is there a sheath for sale separately that fits it?
- GK, I'm sorry ,we dont have a sheath for this axe. It's made in Japan and they havent supplied any sheaths. Unfortunately none of our other sheaths fit either. It's an unusual shape. Thank you.
