Dębowa Kuźnia Gnome axe with sheath

Versatile axe hand-forged using traditional methods from solid steel. The slim profile, the optimum length of the cutting edge and the low weight combined with the 38 cm handle ensure efficient work. Optimal for bushcraft, tasks such as building a shelter, preparing wood for a campfire, as well as for lighter work with wood in the garden.

The hand-forged 41Cr4 steel head has been selectively hardened , achieving a hardness of 53 - 55 hRc. The hardened back end allows it to be used as a hammer. The stable positioning of the head is ensured by the eye, which increases the contact surface with the handle thanks to the earpieces and a wide wooden wedge. The surface of the hatchet, apart from the shank and blade, is not sanded, giving it a rough appearance (brut de forge).

The double-curved handle made of hickory wood (American pecan) from the Swedish company Smedbergs has been impregnated with linseed oil, which penetrates deep into the structure of the wood, preventing swelling and mould growth.

The axe is fitted with a leather sheath fastened with a knap, which protects the cutting edge from damage and prevents cuts during transport and storage.
