Cold Steel Pole Axe   CS89PA

The Cold Steel Pole Axe is a powerful, battle-ready weapon built to deliver crushing force and devastating cuts. Inspired by medieval polearms, this modern rendition is surprisingly agile in hand, offering a balance of speed, reach, and raw impact. Whether for historical training, collection, or practical use, this axe embodies the brutal effectiveness of battlefield weaponry.

The head is expertly drop forged from 1055 carbon steel, a high-carbon alloy known for its toughness and resilience. The sharp axe blade is designed for deep, shearing cuts, while the hammer head on the opposite side delivers bone-crushing strikes. Cold Steel has differentially heat-treated the head, ensuring the edges remain hard for maximum durability while the body retains a slight softness to absorb shock and impact. This careful balance of hardness and flexibility makes the Pole Axe a formidable tool in both offense and defense.

The handle is crafted from tough American ash wood, a material prized for its natural shock resistance and strength. To reinforce its durability, Cold Steel has fitted the handle with black steel langettes, heat-treated for added protection against impact and splitting. These langettes not only increase the axe’s lifespan but also add to its authentic medieval appearance.

Cold Steel’s dedication to producing rugged, high-performance weaponry is evident in every detail of this Pole Axe. Its design captures the brutal efficiency of historical war axes while incorporating modern forging techniques to enhance strength and durability. The combination of a powerful chopping blade, a reinforced striking hammer, and a sturdy ash handle makes it a force to be reckoned with. Whether displayed as a historical centerpiece or wielded for training and testing, this Pole Axe is a true monster of the battlefield.
