Technical characteristics and features of the axe
- Blade Steel: The blade is based on a combination of carbon steel and HVG tool steel. This metal cooking provides a unique balance of high strength, excellent hardness (58 HRC) and excellent impact strength. Thanks to this, the axe perfectly holds the sharpening, withstands significant loads, and is not afraid of intensive woodwork.
- Blade length:130 mm is the optimal size for deep and powerful slashing blows. Blade width:175 mm is a wide working profile that ensures high productivity on every swing.
- Handle length:440 mm — long handle gives maximum force when swinging, increases the lever, allows you to work effectively with two hands, as well as confidently control the tool with one hand when working in detail.
- The hardness of the blade:58 HRC is an indicator that guarantees long—lasting sharpness and resistance to discoloration when used correctly. This is the optimal hardness for axes, where the perfect balance between wear resistance and the ability to withstand impact loads is important.
- Case: Leather is a traditional and reliable material that protects the blade and makes it comfortable to wear.
Optimal application areas
This axe is designed for the harshest conditions: an excellent tool for hiking expeditions, camping, outdoor hunting, fishing, and is also suitable for traditional craft tasks. The wide blade and long handle allow you to quickly and efficiently chop firewood, remove bark, and form blanks for camp construction or carpentry. The combination of carbon steel with HVAC is especially appreciated among connoisseurs for its ability to maintain working sharpness for a long time and resist discoloration even under heavy loads.
Retention and ergonomics
The well-thought-out, elongated handle (440 mm) provides a confident and comfortable grip, both with one and two hands. This is especially important during intensive work — during the swing, the tool does not slip out and is well controlled even with a wet or frozen hand, if the handle is made of rough wood or modern composite (specify the handle material when ordering, if a certain texture is important to you).
Wear resistance, corrosion resistance and maintenance
- Wear resistance:The HVG tool steel in the composition of multilayer welding gives the axe increased wear resistance — the blade retains its working sharpness for a long time, even with frequent cutting of hardwoods and performing complex tasks in nature.
- Corrosion resistance: The combination of carbon steel and HVAC does not have high corrosion resistance compared to stainless steels. To maintain the perfect condition of the axe after use in conditions of high humidity, it is recommended to thoroughly wipe the blade dry and lubricate it with a special oil or a composition to protect against rust.
- Ease of maintenance:Due to its well-balanced hardness (58 HRC), the axe is relatively easy to re-tool using standard tools (sharpening stones, diamond fillets), which is especially convenient in the field.
Restrictions and recommendations
- Not recommended:Using an axe to chop metal, stone, and frozen bones increases the risk of damage to the blade. It is not optimal for delicate work on small products or precise wood carving.
- Sensitive to moisture:Due to the high carbon content, the axe requires regular maintenance — drying, lubrication, and storage in a dry place.
- Recommendations for care: After each use, clean and wipe the blade, apply a light oil film, and do not store the axe in a wet sheath for a long time. For the handle, use special compounds to protect wood or composite (specify the material if necessary).
Conclusion and recommendations
This axe is the perfect choice for travelers, hikers, hunters, and fans of Scandinavian history who appreciate powerful impact, durability, and a charismatic appearance inspired by the Viking age. If you are looking for a reliable tool for working with wood, outdoor activities or collecting, an axe with a combined steel (carbon + HVG) will be an excellent companion for many years.
If your task is to work in conditions of constant high humidity without the possibility of tool maintenance, it is worth considering alternatives made of stainless alloys
