Questions

FAQ

Quick answers before visitors choose a product, service, or next step.

01How do I send my axe?+

Pack the head and handle well, print the intake form, and ship it to our shop. We email updates when it lands.

02What tools do you fix?+

We work on axes, hatchets, splitting axes, camp axes, and many collector pieces with steel heads and wood handles.

03How long does service take?+

Most sharpening jobs finish in 3-5 shop days after intake. Bigger restorations can take longer if parts are needed.

04Do you replace handles?+

Yes. We fit new handles, set the head, and check the grain and wedge so the tool feels tight in hand.

05Can you match my edge?+

Yes. We set the edge to the wood, the tool weight, and the way you use it, from camp chores to heavy splitting.

06Do you sell care gear?+

Yes. We stock field sharpening kits, oil, and simple care notes for campers, loggers, and bushcraft users.
