Product detailed description
Masakari Warikomi-Jigata/Yaki-e Carpenter's Axe
The Masakari tool is a top-tier assistant for precise carpentry tasks and fine wood splitting. Thanks to its balance and compact dimensions, this model is a perfect choice for outdoor activities, camping, and professional artistic woodworking.
The head is made using the traditional Warikomi method, where a hard cutting core of 1045 carbon steel is forged into the body of softer steel. This "sandwich" process ensures high blade stability and durability of the entire tool. Each piece bears the mark of a traditional production certificate, established by the Japanese government to preserve historical techniques and special local crafts.
The handle is made from charred white oak from northern Japan. The charring (Yaki-e) surface treatment not only enhances aesthetic value but also facilitates maintenance and protects the handle from surface dirt.

Tool maintenance and care:
After each use, hand wash the tool head, dry it, and treat it with vegetable oil (e.g., camellia oil).
Carbon steel excels in edge stability, but requires a dry environment to prevent oxidation.
Protect the tool from strong impacts on very hard surfaces.
Sharpening and cleaning:
For maintenance, we recommend water sharpening stones. We also offer sharpening services and professional sharpening courses. A mixture of baking soda and a cork can be used to remove stains.
