Damascus Steel Forging Process

JW SteelCrafts forges multiple layers of steel together to form Damascus billets. Each axe head is shaped and finished by hand, then etched to reveal the layered pattern. This process improves strength and durability while giving every piece its own unique look.

Designed for Custom Builds

This axe head blank allows you to build your own handle and complete the tool your way. Many builders pair it with hardwood handles similar to the Damascus tomahawk hatchet or the full size Viking axe.

If you prefer a ready-to-use option, you can explore the camping axe with handle or the double handed Viking axe set.
