Bearded Tomahawk Axe 15 Inches

This hand-forged tomahawk measures 15 inches overall and weighs 2 lbs. The bearded blade profile suits chopping and fine carving alike. A 14-inch round rose wood handle gives a secure grip for hiking, bushcraft or re-enactment use. The axe arrives new with a thick cow-hide leather sheath included.

Carbon Steel Blade Heat Treatment

The blade is forged from 1095 and 15N20 high-carbon steel layered into a Damascus pattern. Heat treatment brings hardness to 56 to 58 HRC for good edge retention. High carbon content means the steel will rust if neglected; wipe moisture off after use and apply a light coat of oil before storage. Do not keep the axe in its leather sheath long-term because leather can trap humidity.

Upgrade From Basic Camp Hatchet

This tomahawk replaces a standard camp hatchet when you need a longer lever for splitting and a bearded blade for controlled carving. The jump is worth it for users who want a single tool for both heavy chopping and detailed woodwork. It is not suited for buyers who need a lighter pack tool or a full-length felling axe.

Questions about this item

How do I mount the 15-inch head onto the 14-inch rosewood handle and what step causes loosening?

The head is already fixed to the round rosewood handle; no assembly is required. The step users miss is keeping the leather sheath dry — moisture trapped against the carbon-steel blade causes rust that weakens the haft junction.

What ongoing care does the 1095/15N20 Damascus blade need and when must the sheath be replaced?

Wipe the edge dry after every use, coat it with light oil, and never store it inside the cow-hide sheath for more than a few hours. Replace the sheath once the leather cracks or stays damp, because wet leather accelerates corrosion on the 56-58 HRC steel.

At what point does the 2-lb bearded axe lose cutting efficiency during prolonged work?

The 56-58 HRC edge holds well, but after heavy chopping the high-carbon steel will dull before the handle fatigues. Expect to re-sharpen when the blade stops biting cleanly into green wood.
