Damascus Steel Mini Axe, 216mm (8.5-inch), with Wood and Brass Handle and Leather Sheath

A compact and functional mini axe featuring a hand-forged Damascus steel head. The steel is folded five times to create over 246 layers, resulting in a distinctive pattern and a durable cutting edge. Each axe's pattern is unique due to the forging process.

The handle is constructed from wood and brass, secured with mosaic pins for both durability and aesthetic appeal. This combination provides a comfortable and balanced grip for detailed work. A stitched leather sheath is included to protect the blade when not in use. Please note the colour of the leather may vary.

Suitable for a range of tasks including light kindling splitting, garden pruning, and various craft applications.

Specifications

Before you order

Age 18+ only. By placing this order you confirm you are 18 or over. The courier will request photo ID at delivery and return the parcel if no eligible adult is available.

Carrying in public. Under section 139 of the Criminal Justice Act 1988 (with equivalents in Scotland and Northern Ireland), it is an offence to have any bladed or sharply pointed article in a public place without good reason or lawful authority. Carry your purchase only when transporting it directly to and from a workplace, workshop, fieldcraft course, hunting estate, or other lawful use.

Use. This is a sharp working tool, not a weapon. Cut away from the body, keep fingers behind the edge, sheathe before storing, and keep out of reach of children.

Care. Wipe dry after every use and apply a thin film of mineral or camellia oil to prevent rust — high-carbon and Damascus steels will spot or patina if left damp.
