Garrett Wade Japanese Hand Axe, Bearded Steel Blade, 13 Inches Long

79,00 USD

Description

This is a tough axe with great balance. The 4-1/2 laminated steel blade has a bearded shape, which brings the center of gravity closer to your hand. The high-carbon edge is sandwiched between thick layers of softer steel that give the super-sharp edge great strength. It will be particularly good for splitting kindling. Overall length: 13. This unusual design is based on an axe from the Kofun period in the 3rd Century. It's made for us by blacksmiths in the Niigata prefecture. Japanese tools freq
