Compact Hatchet with Damascus Steel Head
Unique Steel Pattern and Ergonomics
The main advantage of this axe is its head. Damascus steel is created by an ancient technique of layering and folding steels with different properties. The result is not only a beautiful structure reminiscent of tree rings or swirling water but also a material that is hard and tough at the same time. The edge is shaped to handle chopping wood for a fire, but thanks to the cutout near the handle, it also allows for more precise carving work.
The handle is made of hard, tough wood with a beautiful texture. It is ergonomically curved, ensuring a comfortable and secure grip during work. The luxurious look is highlighted by a decorative mosaic pin embedded in the center of the handle and a brass eyelet at the end for threading a lanyard.
Accessories and Care
You will receive a high-quality brown leather sheath with the axe, which securely covers the edge. The sheath is equipped with a loop so you can carry the axe comfortably on your belt. Important maintenance note: Damascus steel has a high carbon content and is not stainless. To prevent the axe from rusting and the pattern from fading, it must be kept dry and the blade treated regularly with oil (e.g., WD-40, Ballistol, or other gun oil).
