Description

1. The axe is made from two types of steel: the axe exterior is made from Damascus steel of no less than 9 different types of steel with ferronickel components designed by our experts. The wedge and the internal working part are made from special steel. The exterior of an axe surface has a distinctive chatoyant pattern. These axes are of unparalleled quality. Blade hardness: 60-62 HRC. Working temperature: from -50 to +80 ˚C. Axes are subjected to deep oxidation to ensure moisture-resistance.
2. The handle is made from mature long-fiber Amur oak with the subsequent multi-phased surface treatment to enhance the functionality. The socket is boiled in linseed oil. The oak wedges are fixed with water- resistant joint glue. Carefully chosen handle material together with a phased treatment guarantee a long-life service.
3. The case is designed to prevent personal injury and axe damage due to hitting metallic objects during transportation and storage. The case is designed to carry an axe as follows:
   a) In a hand
   b) On a waist belt
   c) On a shoulder (back)
   

Axe maintenance

The axe blade is sharpened in such a way that when long used whetting with any (corundum, diamond or hard-alloy) touchstone in a few alternate movements alongside the blade is sufficient. After the procedure the axe regains its high chopping quality.

Recommendations

for long-life service:

1. Do not hit the blade on heat-treated metal surface and stones.
2. Do not keep an axe in wet ground or water for long periods.
3. Do not hit the butt with heavy metallic objects to avoid its damage.
4. Do not overheat an axe more than 200 ˚C to avoid the reduction of its hardness.
5. The axe is not a throwing tool! Do not throw!
6. Do not hit the axe blade against another axe blade, knife, splitting axe or wedge to avoid the damage of both tools due to physic laws.

A dry and relatively clean axe in a case will serve a long-life.
