Careful analysis of materials and construction
This chopper axe is made of U8A tool steel, a classic material known for its high hardness (58 HRC) and excellent sharpening ability, which makes it the choice of professionals and connoisseurs of handmade work. U8A steel provides excellent cutting ability and is ideal for rough tasks where aggressive cutting and precise chopping are required. Due to the blade thickness of 5.74 mm, the hoe axe can withstand significant loads, is not prone to cracking and holds its shape well during prolonged use.
The handle is made of noble rosewood, a hard, moisture—resistant wood with characteristic aesthetics and pleasant tactility, as well as reinforced with duralumin elements. This combination of materials fits perfectly in the hand even in wet conditions, provides a reliable grip and excellent balance when working. The duralumin in the handle design adds strength and protects the wood from cracking.
The shape of the Drop Point blade (with a lowering of the butt line to the tip) allows you to confidently control the workflow, makes the blade versatile for various tasks: from precise cutting to forceful chopping movements. Overall dimensions (blade length 130 mm, width 134 mm, handle length 197 mm) are optimal for a confident and stable grip, and the leather of the scabbard ensures safety of sharpness and ease of carrying.
