The Njord Skade named after the goddess Skade combines the necessary characteristics to carry out all types of work due to its hardness and size, as well as unmatched beauty thanks to its blade made of Damascus steel and its rosewood handle. It is the perfect union of strength and elegance with a clearly Nordic style.
The blade of this ax is made of a type of steel considered a precious metal due to its complex workmanship and its characteristic wavy pattern unique to each piece. This is Damascus steel, a type of material composed of two types of metals that, after being heated, are forged together and then marked with acid, revealing those unique veins. The properties that stand out the most are its great hardness compared to other types of steel and the sharp edges that can be obtained from it.
The final aesthetic, whether it is brighter or darker, depends on the mix of steels. In addition, it is finished with a traditional protective blend of beeswax and linseed oil, which will prolong its properties for much longer. Its specific composition is 1.4% carbon and 2% vanadium and its typical hardness is 59-61 HRC .
It has a rosewood handle, a material in demand for its optimal qualities and characteristic colors, from reddish tones to the lightest browns, whose use is intended for the most exclusive uses.
It has high durability , since it is resistant to external agents and water, and added to its high density , it is prepared to be used in tactical activities in humid climates without fear of impacts and falls. As for its ergonomics, it has the right shape for easy grip and handling.
The Njord brand has included a case to transport this Skade Damast ax more comfortably and safely. Made of brown leather , it includes a loop as a closure to secure it to the belt.
