Viking Ax Blank

Viking Ax Blank

Sorry, this item has sold.

You love the finished axes, but really have an itch to get your hands dirty. Maybe you've got a prime piece of hickory sitting in the garage, or just want to give it a personal touch. Either way, I'm excited to give you the opportunity! This polished high carbon steel 5 inch x 6 inch nordic head has a 1 inch x 1.25 inch head hole ready for the handle of your choice. Weighs in at just around 2 lbs. Make sure and watch some youtube videos or read some tutorials, and use good wood, wedges, and glue. You don't want the head flying off mid-pillage!

Disclaimer: It's an ax. It's sharp. Be careful. You can't​ play your surprise tuba solo at your daughter's wedding while missing fingers! You assume all responsibility for safe use upon receipt.


BLADE CARE:
1085 high carbon is great at holding an edge, but will rust and stain if not taken care of properly. Please clean and dry your blade after use, and apply a light coat of oil (gun oil, coconut oil, canola...almost any clear oil) in order to protect the blade and add longevity.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Care instructions

    1085 high carbon and damascus steel will hold an edge very well, but they are not stainless steel. It may take on color with lots of use, and should be dried and oiled, if possible, to prevent rust. If you do get some rust, I prefer giving it a quick rub with a very fine (0000) steel wool and it usually easily takes care of it without scratching the metal.

    You can use WD40 or rust remover, just be sure to clean the blade thoroughly before use, especially if using it for food.

    The key is keeping it dry. Any moisture that sits on the metal will cause rust. That being said, I've had some in my drawer for years with no issues!

    I wouldn't go chipping away at rocks, but they're pretty tough and should last you a long time!

    Wedding Party / Corporate Gifts

    Everything you see in the listings is in stock, but we may not have the quantity you need. Send me a note with any questions.

    For large custom orders:
    These are usually orders of 10+, and you can go full custom. We can do almost any amount given enough time.

    You can engrave names or logos on the handles. You can replace my AIM logo with your own etched into the blade, or we can make a custom metal stamp of your logo for the leather sheaths.

    Just remember, these are custom made and hand crafted, so we need months, not weeks. The more customized, the more time we need! They look ridiculously awesome, so bring it on!

    Custom and personalized orders

    Yes.




    Oh, you want to know more? Just send me a note to discuss your ideas!

    Notes:
    -ENGRAVING goes on the wood handles. It's a laser engraver, so burning the image in. It can do fairly detailed images, even your drawn pictures and handwriting. Be creative! Engraving has a quick turn around.

    -ETCHING goes on the metal. It looks great on the polished metal, but can be hard to see on the damascus. This needs to be less detailed. Think words, numbers, basic designs. WE ONLY DO THIS FOR LARGE ORDERS (10+). This takes time.

    We will do full custom jobs for larger orders, including blade designs, handle materials, custom deep etched logos (instead of the AIM), custom leather stamps on the sheath, etc. Your gifts can be awesome!

    Solid all-around axe head. Makes for a pretty woodcutting tool!


    This item is a good quality but it sucks because it is way too small for what I wanted it for and for the purpose. I expected it to be epic but instead it's the basic small hatchet size. Next time if you put anything on Etsy you should put the size and the overall dimensions dimensions of the piece because I am very disappointed!


    Looks good and was shipped fast. Thanks AIM
