Axe Head 500 Grams

Axe Head 500 g – Fit your own axe

Want to make your own gear? For example, making your own axe? Then a loose axe head is a really good place to start.

With this 500-gram axe head, you can fit your own axe and get a tool that fits you perfectly. You choose the handle, shape, and length yourself – and end up with an axe you made yourself.

It's really a satisfying project to work on. Adjusting the handle, getting the head to fit correctly, and finally holding a finished axe in your hand. It's the kind of work that makes sense in a different way than just taking something off the shelf. And once you've tried it, it adds a little extra every time the axe comes along on a trip.

Make your own axe

Fitting – or “hanging” – your own axe handle is not as difficult as it might sound. It takes some time and patience, but in return, you get a tool you know down to every detail.

You can choose a handle that suits your needs – whether it's for the camp, firewood chopping, or lighter work in the forest.

If you haven't tried fitting an axe handle before, you can find help and inspiration in our guide, which shows the process step by step.
