Honshu is known for its savage blend of tradition and innovation that forges a style and function in its modern, fully functional items that are beyond compare. The Karito  Axe takes the traditional bearded blade design that was used by Japanese carpenters and elevates it into a formidable battle weapon. The 6” wide, 7Cr13 stainless steel bearded axe head has a hair-shaving sharp, 8 1/2” blade that has a satin finish. The curved handle is crafted of impact-resistant, injection-molded nylon and it has a heavily EDM-textured grip. The 27” overall battle axe comes with a premium leather cover with a heavy-duty belt loop and double-snap closure.
