Traditional craftsmanship

Free-form forging is a traditional forging technique in which the blacksmith shapes the metal without a fixed mold. Various tools, such as hammers and anvils, are used to precisely shape the metal. This method requires skilled craftsmanship and allows each axe to be individually crafted. Axes forged in the free-form style are generally more robust and durable, as the blacksmith can process the material precisely and respond to any weaknesses.

A hatchet is a versatile tool characterized by its compact design and the ability to wield it one-handed. It's smaller and lighter than an axe, making it ideal for more precise work. Our hatchets are excellent for limbing trees or chopping firewood. Their precise cutting edge allows for delicate work. Our hatchets come in a high-quality vegetable-tanned leather sheath.

Axe or hatchet? That's the difference!

Although hatchets and axes are often used interchangeably, there are key differences. The handle of a hatchet is shorter, allowing for one-handed use. Axes, on the other hand, have longer handles and are used with both hands. Axes are designed for rough work like felling trees or splitting larger pieces of wood. Hatchets, on the other hand, are better suited for more delicate work. For example, if smaller branches need to be cut from a tree, a hatchet is always preferable to an axe.

FAQ Iconic Tools

What is bushcraft?

Bushcraft is an outdoor activity focused on living and surviving in nature with minimal equipment. Bushcraft literally translates as "nature craft" or "wilderness craft." It's about engaging with the natural world and using primitive techniques and improvisational skills to optimally utilize available resources for a comfortable stay in the wilderness. Our axes can assist you with fire-making, shelter construction, and food gathering and preparation.

What makes a hand-forged axe special?

A hand-forged axe, like our Topor or Sokyra axe, is crafted using traditional blacksmithing techniques, often using free-form techniques. This means that it is not pressed into a mold but formed by precise hammer blows. This method guarantees the highest quality and durability. Each axe is unique and carefully crafted by experienced blacksmiths. Furthermore, the steel used is often particularly durable and long-lasting.

How do you properly care for an axe?

To ensure your axe lasts for a long time, regular care is crucial:

1. Cleaning: After each use, the axe should be cleaned and dried to prevent rust.
2. Sharpening: Sharpening the blade is important to maintain cutting performance. You can use a whetstone to sharpen the edge at a consistent angle.
3. Oiling: Wooden handles should be treated regularly with linseed oil to maintain the wood and protect it from cracking. The axe head can also be oiled to prevent rust.
4. Storage: Store your axe in a cool, dry place. A leather blade guard, such as the one included with Iconic Tools axes, provides additional protection for the blade.
