Immerse yourself in the world of carving with our lightweight Walfläufer carving axe. This extremely sharp axe is the perfect tool for detailed woodwork and precise cuts. Each edge is hand-ground to ensure maximum sharpness and durability. The walnut handle ensures comfortable handling, even during longer carving sessions. The hand-stitched leather sheath not only provides practical protection but also gives the axe a rustic, traditional look. Perfect for hobby carvers or professional craftsmen who value quality and attention to detail.

The axe:

The head is made of carbon steel and has a total weight of 250g.
The ground blade part (working part) has a width of approx. 6 cm and is provided with a wedge grind on both sides.
The edge was sharpened to an extremely sharp finish on a Japanese water whetstone and then polished to a mirror finish.
The handle is made of sanded walnut wood and is treated with a long-lasting special oil.
These were then coated with a thin protective layer of natural resin and polished.
The weight of the axe is approx. 450g.
The total length is approx. 30cm.

The leather sheath:

The axe sheath is made of vegetable-tanned cowhide with a smooth and matte finish. The natural grain reflects the high quality of the material used. It has a comfortable grip, is extremely durable, and, at 3mm thick, is very robust.
The leather was dyed with 100% natural alcohol-based dyes in the color "walnut."
A "vintage" finish seals the pores, protects the knife and sheath from moisture, and gives the overall craftsmanship a great, rustic look.
The highlight was the traditional "saddler's stitch"! (Each stitch contains a knot between the two leather pieces.)
This elaborate sewing technique guarantees a particularly long service life and is a testament to very high quality.

Due to its low total weight of approximately 500g, this axe is ideal as a lightweight firewood axe on longer hiking and trekking tours.
