Mini Damascus Steel Axe, 7-inch, with Wood and Brass Handle and Leather Sheath

A compact and functional hand axe, forged from Damascus steel. The head is created by folding and forge-welding steel layers, resulting in a distinctive pattern and a durable cutting edge. Each axe's pattern is unique due to the hand-forging process.

The 7-inch (178 mm) overall length provides excellent control for detailed work. Its handle is crafted from wood with brass bolsters and decorative mosaic pins, offering a comfortable and secure grip. The axe is supplied with a stitched leather sheath to protect the blade when not in use.

Ideal for various workshop tasks, including:

• Carving and shaping wood for models and prototypes.
• Small-scale green woodworking or craft projects.
• General kindling splitting and light-duty chopping.

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.
