This is not a production piece. This is a one-of-a-kind, hand-forged Axe—crafted with purpose, care, and utility in mind.
The axe is 2lbs 2oz and sits on a 15.5” handle, with a 2.625” cutting edge.
Forged by Will Stelter from 1060 high-carbon steel, the head delivers durability, edge retention, and performance. Every curve and bevel was shaped by hand, making this hatchet as unique as it is functional. The cutting bit of the axe has an aggressive convexing to reduce friction during a cut, and the back features a flat-ground and hardened hammer poll.
It’s paired with a custom-shaped American hickory handle, sculpted to feature the medial ridge facet that has become a signature of Will’s knife handles. The charred and pine-tar sealed finish is durable, and looks excellent. The shape, ergonomics and finish give this axe handle a perfect grip for chopping, light splitting, or any camp tasks.
