Description
At Royal Blades, we forge tools that bridge the gap between historical craftsmanship and modern-day utility. This hand-forged high carbon steel axe is engineered for superior chopping and splitting, utilizing premium materials to ensure it stands the test of time. At 47 cm overall, it is a compact powerhouse designed for the modern woodsman.
The head of this axe is meticulously forged from high carbon steel, providing a massive 14 cm blade width for maximum impact. The 13 cm cutting edge arrives razor-sharp, designed to bite deep into hardwoods while maintaining edge retention through rigorous field use. At a total weight of 800 g, it is balanced to deliver significant force without the fatigue of a full-sized felling axe.
Control is provided by a 40 cm haft carved from English ash. Known for its incredible shock-absorbing properties and natural grain strength, the Ash wood ensures a secure, comfortable grip that won’t splinter under heavy impact. The ergonomic length allows for both one-handed precision tasks and two-handed power swings.
To protect your investment, this Royal Blades original includes a custom genuine leather sheath. Hand-finished to ensure a snug fit, the leather protects the carbon steel edge from moisture and keeps it safely secured during transport or storage — ideal for woodsmen, campers, outdoor enthusiasts, and collectors of traditional handmade craftsmanship.
