Detailed analysis of properties and characteristics
Blade steel: carbon + HVG cooking.
The axe is made of composite steel: a combination of carbon steel and alloy tool steel HVG. Thanks to HVG (chromium-vanadium-tungsten steel), the blade acquires excellent wear resistance and high hardness with proper heat treatment. HVG is famous for its ability to keep sharpness for a long time, and carbon steel provides additional strength and toughness. Resistance to moisture and corrosion.
The combination of steel provides a good combination of hardness and performance properties, but it is worth remembering: alloyed tool and carbon steels, despite their strength, are prone to rusting without regular maintenance. It is not recommended to store the axe in a humid environment for a long time. Handle material: brushed ash (short handle).
Ash is a hard, resilient and wear—resistant wood. Brushing emphasizes the natural texture, gives a confident grip and aesthetically highlights the product. The short handle makes the axe as maneuverable as possible, convenient for one-handed operation and precise strikes. The surface of the handle fits well in the palm of your hand, does not slip even with wet hands. Scabbard: genuine leather.
The durable leather scabbard reliably protects the axe during transportation, emphasizing the status of the handmade product. Wear resistance and durability.
Thanks to the heat treatment and the optimal combination of steels, the working edge can withstand prolonged loads during cutting and planing of wood. The high level of durability makes the axe suitable for demanding tasks in hiking and hunting camps. Easy maintenance and sharpening.
Classic tool steel requires regular maintenance: cleaning and wiping dry after use. Sharpening does not cause difficulties – standard abrasive bars are enough, the blade keeps its working sharpness for a long time.
Optimal application conditions
Ideal for hiking, camping, and survival: the maneuverable short handle allows you to work in limited conditions, clear a camp, chop firewood, and perform precise carpentry and carpentry operations.
Useful for hunters: optimal for butchering carcasses, small carpentry, cutting branches and shrubs.
Suitable for fishing and outdoor activities outside the urban environment.
Collector's item — the pronounced handmade character, the individuality of the finish and the use of brushed ash make the axe a desirable object for collectors.
Due to its compactness, it is excellent as an additional tool in the car, expeditions, hunting and hiking kits.
Limitations and weaknesses
It is not recommended for permanent work on large—diameter wood (felling large trees) - the short handle and compactness are designed for precise, not forceful blows.
Increased sensitivity to moisture and corrosion: regular maintenance is required to avoid rust.
is not intended for heavy construction or logging tasks where a massive axe with a long handle is required.
Maintenance and operating instructions
After each use, wipe the blade thoroughly dry and periodically treat it with an anti-corrosion lubricant (for example, gun oil).
It is recommended to soak the wooden handle from time to time with linseed oil or other natural oils to preserve its strength and prevent cracking.
Keep the axe in a leather sheath in a dry place, away from sources of moisture and sudden temperature changes.
For sharpening, use standard bars of medium and fine grain.
Conclusions and recommendations
A handmade axe with a combined blade steel (carbon + HVG) and a brushed ash handle is an ideal choice for connoisseurs of reliability, maneuverability and authentic design. It is recommended for hunters, tourists, fishermen and collectors who value the compactness and controllability of the tool, as well as aesthetes who appreciate the unique texture of the wood. For regular heavy work on large wood, it is better to choose a classic axe with a long handle. Optimal care of the blade and handle will ensure decades of trouble-free service.
