Skeggøx Bearded Axe Design

The Skeggøx, known as the bearded axe, features a lowered blade section that increases usable edge length. This design reduces weight while maintaining cutting power. You can choke up behind the beard for carving and controlled shaping.

Pattern Welded Steel Construction

JW SteelCrafts forges layered high carbon steels under controlled heat and pressure. The repeated folding and welding process strengthens the structure and produces the visible flowing pattern across the blade face. Each axe head carries a distinct forged pattern.
