The perfect outdoor axe
Anyone who enjoys spending time outdoors – whether camping, bushcrafting, hiking, or working in the forest – knows that the right tool makes all the difference. Today we're introducing you to three premium tools from STUBAI that are true all-rounders: the "Zuckerhütl" camping axe , the "Habicht" camping hatchet , and the "Serles" outdoor hatchet .
What makes these tools special?
- Hand-forged : All three tools are handcrafted with great experience and attention to detail. Not mass-produced industrial items, but tools with character.
- High-quality carbon steel with a head hardness of approximately 52-55 HRC ensures an extremely sharp blade and durability.
- Handle made of hickory wood , oiled and with a scrubbed surface – this improves the grip in the hand even when wet or when sweating.
- Leather case included , so that the blade can be safely stored and handling on the go becomes easier.
