The Axe Maker

This robust and no-nonsense design is our take on the classical Japanese knife-maker’s hammer. It’s designed to move a lot of steel quickly and efficiently, with minimal effort, and is made with larger projects in mind: axes, hatchets, and swords. Weighing around 3.5lb, this hammer is very suitable for forming the edge, forge-welding, and the accurate shaping of heavy blades.

Please note: All hammers are hand-forged, resulting in a final product that is unique and unrepeatable with some variation from the photo. Your hammer will look similar and meet the specifications described here. Please allow 2 – 3 weeks for forging and delivery.
