  • 10 inch head length for strong cutting reach and control
  • Tomahawk style profile suited for carving, camp tasks, and wood processing
  • Handle eye ready for custom handle fitting and pinning
  • Each head is unique due to forging pattern and finish

Included

  • 1 Damascus steel axe head (head only, no handle)

Steel and Build

Smiths forge weld layered steels under heat and pressure, then shape and finish the head for a clean working geometry. The etch reveals the Damascus grain. You control the final build by choosing handle length, wood type, and finish.

Specs

  • Head length: 10 inches
  • Material: hand forged Damascus steel
  • Type: tomahawk and Viking style axe head blank
  • Mounting: eye ready for handle installation

Short History

Compact axe heads shaped for control supported camp work across Northern Europe and later frontier toolmaking. Modern builders still choose the same head shapes for balance, close grip control, and efficient cutting.

Product Care for JW SteelCrafts Hand-Forged Products

To ensure the longevity and beauty of your hand-forged JW SteelCrafts products, follow these essential care instructions:

  1. Regular Cleaning
    Wipe your knives, swords, axes, and rings with a soft cloth to remove dust and debris. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap solution and a non-abrasive cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasives that could damage the steel’s finish.
  2. Dry Thoroughly
    After cleaning, ensure your product is completely dried. This helps prevent water spots, rust, or corrosion, particularly on blades and steel surfaces exposed to moisture.
  3. Proper Storage
    Store your hand-forged products in a dry, cool place to prevent oxidation or rust. For long-term storage, consider applying a thin layer of oil (e.g., mineral oil or gun oil) to the metal surfaces, or using a rust inhibitor. When storing knives and swords, keep them in protective sheaths or pouches to prevent contact with other materials.
  4. Avoid Impact
    While designed for strength and durability, avoid dropping or striking your steel products against hard surfaces. This can cause damage to the blade, edge, or overall integrity of the piece.
  5. Edge Maintenance (For Knives & Swords)
    Periodically sharpen the blades to maintain their cutting edge. Use a proper sharpening stone or take your product to a professional for maintenance. Always sharpen in the correct direction to preserve the blade’s integrity.
  6. Routine Inspection
    Regularly inspect your products for any signs of wear, rust, or damage. If you notice any issues, reach out to us for maintenance, restoration, or repair services.

By following these care instructions, your JW SteelCrafts products will retain their craftsmanship, functionality, and beauty for years to come.
