Thank you for viewing. This is a Japanese-style axe head with a profound beauty, breathing with the techniques of old-fashioned blacksmiths. The blade is made of pure iron forged repeatedly with heat and hammer blows. The sharpness of the steel stands out, achieving a high level of both hardness and toughness. ・Total length: Approximately 23.5cm ・Blade length: Approximately 9cm ・Weight: Approximately 1.0kg (actual measurement: 1149g) ・Blade: Polished, with a good cutting edge appearance ・Surface: Hammer mark finish (hammer marks left) ・Red lacquer circle mark (design/identification mark) The handle is sold separately, but by combining it with hardwoods such as oak or Japanese oak, it exhibits excellent operability for felling, splitting firewood, and woodworking. In addition to being a practical tool, this axe head is also a valuable collector's item, allowing you to enjoy the beauty of Japanese blacksmithing. The red lacquer mark symbolizes the pride and soul of the craftsman. "Beauty resides in the tools we use" — please experience this exceptional item that embodies that belief. ※Since it is an unhandled specification, the buyer is responsible for attaching and adjusting the handle. For rust prevention, we recommend wiping it with oil after use. #Blacksmith #JapaneseAxe #Masakari #AxeHead #ForgedTool #WoodworkingTool #FellingTool #TraditionalTechnique #ForgedIron
