Description

At Royal Blades, we push the boundaries of traditional bladesmithing. This 19-inch axe is part of our Elite Series, combining the legendary strength of layered Damascus steel with a unique, multi-textured handle design that is as functional as it is beautiful.
​512 Layers of Forged Damascus Steel
The head is hand-forged using a meticulous folding process to create 512 distinct layers of high carbon steel. This results in a blade with exceptional structural integrity and a mesmerizing, rippling pattern. With a 6-inch head width and a 5.3-inch cutting edge, this axe is balanced for high-impact performance. The blade is tempered to 55-60 HRC, ensuring it holds a razor-sharp edge through heavy field use while resisting chipping.
​Braided Harlequin Leather & Ash Wood
Control is anchored by a premium Ash wood handle, selected for its natural shock-absorbing properties. To provide a superior, non-slip hold, the handle is finished with a Harlequin-style braided leather grip. Using alternating colors of high-quality leather, our artisans create a diamond-pattern weave that dampens vibration and ensures the axe remains secure in hand during high-velocity swings.
​Elite Artisan Detailing
This Royal Blades original features deep, traditional Nordic engravings across the Damascus head, highlighting the craftsmanship of the forge. Every transition—from the polished steel edge to the intricate leather braid—is hand-finished to ensure this axe stands as a centerpiece in any collection or a reliable workhorse in the wild.
