Almike mates 1 lb. head with a 16\" American hickory handle and may be worn on the belt, tucked into a bag or backpack, or stashed in your vehicle's EDC kit. Almike is styled like a traditional Swedish axe with rustic presentation that the uninitiated may perceive as unfinished, but the knowledgeable will recognize as beautiful. Each Almike comes with a leather sheath, cardboard storage box, and detailed user's manual. This is an axe you will use for many years and will probably hand down as well. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e The steel head weighs 1 lb. and is hand-forged from Swedish steel in a forge that has been in operation since 1697. During the transformation from billet to head, the steel is hammered multiple times to increase its density and durability and reach its final shape. The iconic and unusual head shape of a Swedish axe has deep cheeks for maximum contact with the wood for resistance to loosening, but forward of the cheeks is a deep finger notch that lets the user grab very high on the handle (nearly to the centerline of the bit) for fine bushcraft work as well as general camp tasks. (Inferior axes have good wood contact or finger clearance, but not both.) After reaching its final shape, the head is differentially tempered with the bit hardened to hold a sharp edge, and the eye and poll left soft to remain resilient. In the proud Swedish style, the head is ground and polished only at the bit and the remainder of the head is left in its organic, forged state to showcase the great skill of the workers who were able to achieve such compound curves and complex shapes using only the forge. (When an axe head is ground all over, it is not a sign of quality but rather inferiority because the ground finish was applied to hide the crude forgings, imperfections, and general lack of skill of the workers.)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe American hickory handle is 16\" long and has many subtle but complex shapes to maximize the axe's utility for various tasks. The handle is curved in an S shape to permit the user to choke up on the handle right under the head for fine carving control or hold the handle at the knob for full power during chops. The S shape lets the user generate more power and accelerate through the full swing by bending the wrist and snapping the last three fingers shut right before impact without ever having to bend the wrist in an awkward manner (as with a straight handle). The handle flares into a knob that is larger than the rest of the handle so that the user can maintain a light and lively grip without the axe wanting to escape from the user's hand at impact. Tight grips lead to less power rather than more, so the cross-section of the handle is oval rather than round to prevent the axe from turning in the hand during use (even with a light grip), and the sharp end of the oval is aligned with the bit so that the user can orient and index the head easily and intuitively during use. The knob area has a hole if you want to use Almike with a lanyard or hang it on a wall during storage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe hickory handle is hung on the head using both wooden wedge and steel conical wedge to expand the wood in all directions to ensure many years of hard use without loosening. After hanging, the handle is treated with linseed oil, which penetrates deeply into the the hickory in a liquid state and then polymerizes into a solid over time to strengthen the wood and protect it against drying out and cracking. In contrast to a varnished finish, the protection with linseed oil is \u003cem class=\"x-el x-el-span c2-t c2-u c2-3 c2-7f c2-15 c2-12 c2-7g c2-7h\"\u003ein\u003c\/em\u003e the wood rather than \u003cem class=\"x-el x-el-span c2-t c2-u c2-3 c2-7f c2-15 c2-12 c2-7g c2-7h\"\u003eon\u003c\/em\u003e it.

It is small enough to have with you when using your tools so that you can resharpen them as they dull from use. And the Grinding Stone has a clever design with rustic presentation that is a delight to use, so you will be more likely to keep your cutlery in tip-top condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe stone is 3\" in diameter and shaped like a waisted puck. The groove around the diameter adds grip and prevents your fingers from the axe's bit.

Simply keep the stone wet during use to prevent clogging, and rinse with water and let dry after use. The leather cover may be kept moisturized with Obenauf's Heavy Duty LP or Obenauf's Leather Oil. If maintained in this manner, the Grinding Stone and its leather cover will last a lifetime of hard use and sharpen many, many blades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKeep all of your cutlery nice and sharp. Not only will your blades be more effective when they are sharp, they will actually be safer to use because they will cut with less pressure than a dull blade and behave much more predictably. There is no single or \"best\" way to sharpen cutlery, because we all have our different preferences and skill levels. Different sharpening methods will also suit different blade shapes and sizes, and you probably would not use the same sharpening tool on a pocketknife and sword.

Kisa is also an excellent size for vehicle pioneer kits. Kisa is styled like a traditional Swedish axe with rustic presentation that the uninitiated may perceive as unfinished, but the knowledgeable will recognize as beautiful. Each Kisa comes with a leather sheath, cardboard storage box, and detailed user's manual. This is an axe you will use for many years and will probably hand down as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe steel head weighs 2 lbs. and is hand-forged from Swedish steel in a forge that has been in operation since 1697. During the transformation from billet to head, the steel is hammered multiple times to increase its density and durability and reach its final shape. The iconic and unusual head shape of a Swedish axe has deep cheeks for maximum contact with the wood for resistance to loosening, but forward of the cheeks is a deep finger notch that lets the user grab very high on the handle (nearly to the centerline of the bit) for fine bushcraft work as well as general camp tasks. (Inferior axes have good wood contact or finger clearance, but not both.) After reaching its final shape, the head is differentially tempered with the bit hardened to hold a sharp edge, and the eye and poll left soft to remain resilient. In the proud Swedish style, the head is ground and polished only at the bit and the remainder of the head is left in its organic, forged state to showcase the great skill of the workers who were able to achieve such compound curves and complex shapes using only the forge. (When an axe head is ground all over, it is not a sign of quality but rather inferiority because the ground finish was applied to hide the crude forgings, imperfections, and general lack of skill of the workers.)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe American hickory handle is 26\" long and has many subtle but complex shapes to maximize the axe's utility for various tasks. The handle is curved in an S shape to permit the user to choke up on the handle right under the head for fine carving control or hold the handle at the knob for full power during chops. The S shape lets the user generate more power and accelerate through the full swing by bending the wrist and snapping the last three fingers shut right before impact without ever having to bend the wrist in an awkward manner (as with a straight handle). The handle flares into a knob that is larger than the rest of the handle so that the user can maintain a light and lively grip without the axe wanting to escape from the user's hand at impact. Tight grips lead to less power rather than more, so the cross-section of the handle is oval rather than round to prevent the axe from turning in the hand during use (even with a light grip), and the sharp end of the oval is aligned with the bit so that the user can orient and index the head easily and intuitively during use. The knob area has a hole if you want to use Kisa with a lanyard or hang it on a wall during storage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe hickory handle is hung on the head using both wooden wedge and steel conical wedge to expand the wood in all directions to ensure many years of hard use without loosening. After hanging, the handle is treated with linseed oil, which penetrates deeply into the the hickory in a liquid state and then polymerizes into a solid over time to strengthen the wood and protect it against drying out and cracking.
