Appalachian Axe Damast

The size, weight and design make this the axe for the finer and more precise cutting tasks. The heart of every axe is the head. In this particular design, the head is made of solid carbon damascus steel with 360 layers and the ears on the sides of the eye are typical of hand-forged axes. The cutting edge is razor-sharp and, with the handle grasped directly under the head, is also suitable for work such as carving, and feathering of sticks and and skinning. In keeping with the noble head material, the handle is made of high-quality and decorative walnut wood. An included leather sheath made of natural-coloured light cowhide and carefully sewn piping reliably protects the cutting edge. Two leather handles hold the axe securely in position. A double-riveted strap on the back of the sheath allows the axe to be hung or attached to a rucksack for transport.

Warning and safety information:
Cut injuries: The most common danger when using knives is the risk of cuts. Sharp blades can quickly penetrate skin and tissue.
Slipping of the knife: Improper or excessive pressure can cause the knife to slip, resulting in uncontrolled movements that can cause injuries.
Injuries due to falls: Knives should never be left unsecured or near table edges to prevent them from falling and injuring someone.
Blunt knives: Blunt knives pose a greater risk of injury as they require more force and can slip more easily. Knives should therefore be properly sharpened regularly.
Improper use: Using a knife for tasks for which it is not intended (e.g. as a lever tool) can not only damage the blade, but also lead to accidents.
