We’re announcing new lineup of axe models crafted by the Northmen Guild’s master craftsmen and craftswomen - custom made axes that will be offered as ready to ship products on our website.

These axes will be offered on average once a month in a limited number. There are two new hatchet models - Ranger’s Hatchet and Hunter’s Hatchet; the classic large American Felling Axe and the versatile Northlander Forest Axe. These axes are designed and made by the Northmen Guild's master bladesmith Mr. Liepins. The axes are hand-forged from a solid piece of high-quality tool steel AISI 1066 (65G). This is the main difference between our axes. This new solid steel technique allows for a more consistent results and longer edge life when sharpening the blade through years. The axe handles are made from European Ash and are soaked in a special tung oil mixture. The axes have black leather sheaths made from full grain leather that we source from a local tannery.

Another novelty is that each axe will have its own unique serial number on the back side of the handle. Also the names of the master craftsmen and craftswomen who made the specific axe plus the month and year of birth when the axe was crafted are engraved below the serial number.

We’re also now offering custom engravings on the axe handles. Please put your custom engraving wish in the notes section when placing your order.

The very first axes and the first limited batch of hatchets are available on our website.
