Materials and workmanship

The Sappie double-wedge splitting axe from the 'Krafts' range feels great in the hand. The ash handle is sturdy and ergonomically shaped. The axe blade and hook are made from hand-forged steel and have a very precise, high-quality edge.

Ash wood
Ash grows throughout much of Europe, especially in the northern Alpine foothills. Along with beech and oak, it is one of the most important hardwoods. Ash wood is very dense and hard, yet its high elasticity makes it easy to work with. Thanks to its excellent mechanical properties, ash is used in many different fields, including musical instrument making, equipment manufacturing, sports equipment and tool handles.

The Sappie double-wedge splitting axe handle
The handle is made from ash wood and ergonomically shaped. Ash is an ideal wood for high-quality garden tools. It is sturdy and durable, as well as pleasant to the touch. The wood is varnished to protect it from moisture and dirt, and to prevent splinters from penetrating the surface.

The axe blade and Sappie hook are made from high-quality steel, which is exceptionally durable thanks to its special treatment.
