Item Description
The Graybear Outdoor Axe is a brilliantly practical, all-around axe- compact enough to fit in a pack, but weighty enough to be utilised two-handed for larger jobs. With a 750g head, and a 500mm long handle, the axe is perfectly designed for any expedition or adventure. Hand forged and stamped with the famous ‘Marbles’ motif in South America to exacting standards, the fit, hang and profile of the blade provide an impressively capable tool. The axe is then hand-finished, sharpened and polished here in Australia.
The handle is truly unique- every handle leaves the workshop completely individual- no two the same. Using a centuries-old finishing technique famous in Japanese carpentry, the timber is burnt carefully to burnish the wood, leaving a smooth, but very durable finish- ready for years of use.
Rubbed in a final pass with a home-brewed beeswax and linseed oil treatment, the axe is ready for anything. Or maybe even for admiring, hung on the wall. Or both. Your call.
The handmade leather sheath is minimal and snug- riveted for a secure fit. Dyed and finished with beeswax, it will last as long as the axe.
Every Axe comes in a bespoke box for transport or for display if desired.
