The manufacture of an OCHSENKOPF Axe has been continually developed over this time into a highly modern process. Today the same standards for quality and a long service life are applied to every product, with modern manufacturing methods and materials. OCHSENKOPF tools are preferably manufactured of C60 steel, providing industry-leading durability, guaranteeing a long tool life.
Only high-quality wood is used in tool shaft production. Hickory is a high-grade and extremely break-proof wood. Instead of being sharpened to a knife edge, OCHSENKOPF tools are honed to a cambered edge, which results in a greatly improved edge life.
