SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Grooved Axe by SZCO Supplies blends time-honored craftsmanship with modern utility in a form that’s as functional as it is visually striking. Drawing inspiration from the earliest grooved tools—used by ancient artisans to fasten wooden shafts to stone blades—this axe reinvents the tradition through contemporary materials and meticulous design.
Its 20-inch overall length and 19-inch handle crafted from burnt ash wood deliver both reach and balance. The wood’s darkened grain offers a natural, weathered aesthetic while providing a secure grip for practical use. Burnt ash is known not only for its durability but also for its tactile appeal, making this axe as comfortable in hand as it is compelling on display.
The 6.25 x 4.75-inch stainless steel axe head features uniform grooves etched directly into the metal, a deliberate nod to early utilitarian techniques. These grooves mirror those carved into the handle, creating a continuous visual rhythm that unites the piece from edge to base. The stainless steel construction ensures long-term edge retention and corrosion resistance, whether the axe is used for light clearing, display, or ceremonial use.
This integration of form and function makes the Grooved Axe a versatile tool that’s equally suited for outdoorsmen, collectors, or historical enthusiasts. Whether mounted on a wall, packed into a camping kit, or handed down through generations, the Grooved Axe speaks with a quiet confidence rooted in purpose.
Included with the axe is a custom-fit leather sheath that provides blade protection during storage and transport. The sheath’s rugged yet refined appearance complements the overall design, reinforcing the axe’s role as a thoughtful, heritage-inspired instrument.
From the minimalism of its silhouette to the purposeful detailing of its grooves, every aspect of this axe is designed to convey both legacy and capability. It doesn't seek attention through ornamentation—it earns it through craftsmanship.
