CARE

Axe Head:

Apply a thin coat of protective oil after each use. Wipe clean of dirt, water, and fingerprints regularly. Use a medium to fine file to straighten out any larger dings or nicks in the blade. The edge can be honed with a medium sharpening disk or stone.

An extra steel ring wedge comes with the axe should the head come loose. Pound the wooden wedge into the top of the axe handle then secure it with the steel ring wedge by hammering it until the top of the axe head is secure and flush.

Sheath:

Waxed canvas should never be dry cleaned or machine washed. It can be cleaned carefully by hand. Brush off the loose dirt, rinse the surface with cold water, gently scrub with a brush, then let air dry. If stains persist, use mild bar soap or saddle soap.

After cleaning, waxed canvas may need to be re-waxed. To do so, use a wax conditioner and apply following the manufacturer's instructions.

FAQ

Q: How do I sharpen the blade?

A: Use a medium to fine file to straighten out any larger dings or nicks in the blade. The edge can be honed with a medium sharpening disk or stone.

Q: Why 900D Polyester?

A: 900D polyester is water-resistant, resistant to bacteria, and very durable, which makes it ideal for extended use in the outdoors.

Q: Can I store my axe outside for extended periods of time?

A: The Felling Axe is not meant to be stored outside for long periods of time. Extended exposure to wet conditions may cause rust and unnecessary wear and tear. We recommend storing your axe indoors after use to help it last as long as possible and to avoid the need to purchase a replacement.
