The Ermak-13 axe is made of high-quality steel obtained by metal welding: a combination of carbon steel with alloy steel HVG. This combination provides the blade with impressive hardness, excellent cutting ability and durability. HVG steel is known for its resistance to wear and has good elasticity, which is especially important for products that experience shock loads, such as an axe.
The handle is made of brushed ash and trimmed with genuine white leather. Ash is a type of wood traditionally used in axes due to its strength, resistance to cracking and comfortable grip in the hand. Brushing adds tactile roughness for a secure grip, even with gloves or wet hands. The leather finish is not only aesthetically pleasing, but also increases comfort during long-term work, softening the impact and reducing brush fatigue.
Application scenarios and optimal tasks
Ermak-13 is focused on a wide range of tasks: ideal for woodwork — harvesting firewood, forming pegs, cutting down shrubs. Thanks to the thoughtful design and materials used, the axe will perfectly prove itself in hiking, fishing and hunting, as well as in everyday life for small household chores. The compact size (please specify the exact parameters) and the sturdy genuine leather scabbard make the axe convenient to carry and store.
Advantages and features of the combination of materials
Blade durability: boiled steel HVG + carbon — high wear resistance, resistant cutting blade, excellent staining resistance even when hitting knotty wood.
Resistance to moisture and corrosion:HVG steel contains chromium, which increases its rust protection compared to conventional carbon steel, but requires minimal maintenance (timely drying, lubrication after work).
Grip and control: brushed ash and leather wrap guarantee a secure grip in all conditions — the axe does not slip even during prolonged operation, the hand gets less tired.
Uniqueness: each axe is handmade with attention to detail, which guarantees the uniqueness of the wood grain and finish. This is not only a working tool, but also an aesthetic object with a historical bent: the combination of steel and natural materials refers to the classical traditions of Russian carpentry axes.
Limitations and features of the service
is not designed for heavy felling of large trees: the compactness and versatility of the design make this axe not massive enough for felling thick trunks.
Vulnerability to aggressive environment: with prolonged exposure to moisture, lack of care and improper storage, even HVG steel is susceptible to corrosion, and the skin may darken or lose elasticity.
Sharpening: the axe can be easily sharpened with standard tools (bars, pastes), the cutting edge does not require frequent trimming with proper maintenance.
Care: We recommend cleaning the blade after each use, wiping it thoroughly dry and applying a light oil film. The leather wrap and scabbard should be treated periodically with a skin cream to avoid drying out and cracking.
Conclusions and recommendations
Ermak-13 is an excellent choice for connoisseurs of high—quality handmade tools, outdoor enthusiasts, tourists, fishermen, hunters, as well as for collectors due to its spectacular combination of steel, wood and leather. If you are looking for an axe for everyday tasks or hiking, appreciate historical aesthetics and practicality — this model will not disappoint. For felling large forests or heavy construction work, it is more rational to choose a more massive specialized tool.
Key recommendation: for a long service life, just follow the basic rules of care — regular cleaning, timely drying and skin care. This axe is designed for those who choose tools with a soul and respect for the classical traditions of the craft.
