The Karito Battle Axe takes the traditional bearded blade design which was used by Japanese carpenters and elevated it into a formidable battle weapon. The 6” wide, 7Cr13 stainless steel bearded axe head has a hair-shaving sharpness to it. The 8 1/2” blade also has a satin finish. The curved handle is crafted from impact-resistant, injection molded nylon and has a heavily EDM textured grip. The 27” overall battle axe comes with a premium leather cover with heavy-duty belt loop and double-snap closure. This is a truly fantastic axe to own as it allows it to be held in one hand or two and is perfect for cutting your firewood.
