Axe / Tomahawk

An axe (sometimes ax in American English) is an implement that has been used for millennia to shape, split and cut wood to harvest timber, as a weapon, and as a ceremonial or heraldic symbol. The axe has many forms and specialized uses but generally consists of an axe head with a handle, or helve.

Axe / Tomahawk Collection – FAQs

What types of axes & tomahawks are included in this collection?

This collection features various hand-forged axes and tomahawks, including Viking-style axes, double-bit versions, bearded axes, and decorative/functional designs. They are made for both display and practical use.

What materials are used in these axes & tomahawks?

The axes are crafted using high-quality steel heads (often forged), durable wooden handles like rosewood, and leather or other wrapping for grip. All are built for strength and lasting use.

Are these axes meant for practical use (camping, chopping wood) or are they decorative?

Many of them are functional — you can use them for camping, chopping light wood, or outdoor tasks. Some designs lean more toward decorative or collector’s pieces because of ornate detailing. Always check the product description & blade specs for intended use.

Do these axes come with a sheath or protective cover?

In most cases, yes—axes will have protective sheath or cover for safety and blade preservation. If a specific product doesn’t include one, it’ll be clearly mentioned in its details.

How do I maintain and care for an axe or tomahawk?

Keep the blade clean and dry after each use to prevent rust.

Occasionally oil the steel with a light oil to maintain corrosion resistance.

Store it in a sheath or a safe place away from humidity.

If the handle is wood, treat it with wood oil or conditioner to avoid drying or cracking.

Great quality

This knife is well balanced and is very solid. The craftsmanship of the blade is excellent. The sheath that came with it is perfect for all occasions and it built with the same quality craftsmanship as the blade. Very happy with this knife and will be ordering more knives.
