Carbon Steel Blade & Norse-Inspired Design

The double-edged axe head is crafted from carbon steel, giving the piece the rugged appearance traditionally associated with historical-style axes.

Decorative engraved motifs across the metal add character to the design, while the contrasting wooden handle and dark wrapping create a traditional Norse-inspired finish. Because carbon steel requires more care than stainless steel, proper cleaning and oiling are recommended to preserve its condition.

Care & Maintenance

Carbon steel requires regular maintenance, particularly when exposed to moisture.

• Wipe the axe blade clean after handling or use.
• Keep the carbon steel completely dry before storage.
• Apply a thin coat of mineral oil or suitable blade oil periodically.
• Do not leave the blade exposed to water or high humidity.
• Avoid storing the axe while the leather sheath is damp.
• Clean the wooden handle with a soft, dry cloth.
• Avoid harsh chemical cleaners on the wood, metal, or leather.
• Condition the leather sheath occasionally with a suitable leather conditioner.
• Inspect the blade, handle, and fittings periodically.
• Store in a cool, dry environment away from excessive moisture.

Your existing product page already notes that the blade is treated with oil to help preserve its condition. Maintaining a light protective coating is especially useful for carbon steel.
