This Japanese axe is ideal for:

The versatile Japanese axe is a traditional axe designed to combine robustness, precision, and ease of use. Its hand-forged head, made by rolling carbon steel and hardening it to 58–60 HRC, has a very fine structure that promotes a clean cut and long-lasting edge, even after many uses.
The cutting edge length (118 mm) within an overall length of 360 mm makes this axe a suitable tool for a variety of tasks, from light splitting to more precise cuts, without sacrificing maneuverability. Its unique double-bevel shape further enhances its versatility, facilitating both straight and angled cuts.

One of the strengths of this design is the notch under the head, which allows the axe to be gripped higher on the handle, thus offering increased cutting precision — useful in delicate work or finishing.

The Japanese white oak handle completes the design with a natural and comfortable grip, while being robust enough to withstand repeated use in the workshop or in the field.
