HAND-FORGED FELLING AXE · MADE IN UKRAINE

Hand-forged Made in Ukraine 1066 carbon steel 56–58 HRC 30° edge Oiled ash handle Leather sheath Shoulder sling

Tough and sharp. Then it keeps going.

The head is forged by hand, the handle is finished by hand, and it comes with the two things a good axe needs to be carried and kept: a sheath and a sling.

Hand-forged head

Shaped under a hammer in Ukraine. The forge marks stay on the head; only the edge is ground.

The AX4 head on charcoal

1066 steel, 56–58 HRC

High-carbon steel hardened to 56–58 on the Rockwell scale: hard enough to hold its 30° edge between sharpenings.

Mitch holding the AX4 by its ash handle at the woodpile

Oiled ash handle

Ash, finished by hand with linseed oil and wax. The traditional wood for tool handles, because it flexes instead of snapping.

The leather sheath being snapped over the AX4 head

Leather sheath

Cowhide slip cover that snaps over the head. Safe in the truck, safe under the tree on Christmas morning.

The AX4 carried on its leather shoulder sling

Shoulder sling

Clips on and goes over the shoulder, so the axe walks out to the woodpile or up the trail with both his hands free.

The AX4 laid out with sheath, sling and straps

Everything in one box

Axe, sheath and sling for $210.60 USD. Nothing else to buy before he can use it.

THE BEAVERCRAFT AX4 HAND-FORGED IN UKRAINE

“This is not a factory axe. This is a real handmade axe out of Eastern Europe.”

Mitch Weight runs a cattle ranch in Sanpete Valley, Utah, where an axe gets used, not hung on a wall. The forge marks stay on the head; only the edge is ground. That's how you can tell it was made by a person.

It's for him if he…

Burns woodA woodstove, a fire pit, a cabin. Splitting kindling and rounds is most of what this axe will do.
Has land to keepBrush, deadfall, a fence line. It fells small trees and limbs the ones that come down.
Owns a cheap axeThe one with the painted head and the loose handle. He'll notice the difference on the first swing.

Buying it for someone else?

Is it too much axe?

At 25 inches and about 3.3 pounds, it's a forest axe, not a hatchet: long enough for real chopping, light enough to carry on the sling all afternoon.

Does it come sharp?

Yes, with the leather sheath snapped over the edge. The 56–58 HRC steel holds that edge, so he won't be sharpening it every time he uses it.

Why does the head look rough?

That's the forge finish. The hammer marks and scale stay on the head and only the edge gets ground. It's the clearest sign it wasn't stamped out in a factory.

Will it arrive by Christmas?
