Historical Scandinavian Skeggøx – Hand Forged Damascus Bearded Axe
This Scandinavian Skeggøx reflects traditional Nordic bearded axe design. JW SteelCrafts hand forges the Damascus steel head and mounts it on a curved hardwood handle for balance, control, and working durability.
Product Overview

Authentic Skeggøx Design
The Skeggøx bearded axe features a lowered blade section that extends the cutting edge without increasing overall weight. This design allows you to grip higher on the handle for precision carving and shaping. The wide edge supports efficient chopping and controlled cuts.

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:
- 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. - 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. - 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. - 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. - 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. - 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.
