About this piece

Hundr Hatchet is a axe carried by Warborn Blades, a licensed United States dealer of battle axes. It measures 12in overall as stated by the forge, and it ships from the house's own walls rather than a drop-shipper's warehouse.

The blade is 9260. Carbon and tool steels take a finer edge and take it faster, and they will rust if left wet. Wipe the blade dry and keep a film of oil on it and it will outlast you.

Fittings and furniture: G10. The fittings are where a piece is honest or is not — a guard, a pommel and a grip that are fitted tight will not shift under work.

Long arms are judged by carry and by intent rather than by a blade ceiling in most provinces. Transport this piece cased, and read your own state's law before you carry it in public.

Knife laws by state — free, all fifty and the District.

Nothing is charged. The oath is held until you set your seal to it.

The house will hold it in mind for two days. Come back inside that window and a tenth of the reckoning is forgiven.

The Trial of the Blade

Swing it before you own it. This exact piece — its reach, its weight, its steel — is put in a fitting hand and set against a living foe for three exchanges. What you feel is what you would carry.

The Tale of the Blade

What it is built for

This piece is built for weight — a short haft, a heavy head, and force gathered at the edge.

The lineage of its steel — 9260

High-carbon steel. The old, honest choice. It takes a keener edge than stainless and holds it under work, but it will rust if it is left wet. Oil it, and it will outlive you.

This blade belongs in the hand of

The shield-breaker

One who works wood, throws for sport, or keeps a camp. Mass does the labour; the hand only aims it.

Keeping it alive

Dry it, oil it, store it out of the sheath for the long keep, and sharpen it before it is blunt rather than after. The house gives the whole method away for nothing.

The road it walked to this wall

1. Forged at the maker's fire
The piece is made by the forge that makes it — we do not pretend to have hammered it.
2. Received and looked over by the house
It comes into our walls and is checked before it is ever offered.
3. Sealed with the Seal of Provenance
The house records what it knows about the piece — and refuses to claim what it cannot prove.
4. Sent out from the house's own walls
It ships from us, with the record travelling beside it.

These four stations are the house’s standing doctrine for every piece it carries, not a tracking record of this one blade. Where the house cannot prove a claim, it strikes the claim rather than dressing it up.

The voice of the steel

Every piece in this house has one true note, and it is not a recording. Hundr Hatchet is 12″ of 9260, and a bar of that length and that temper rings at about 409 hertz — keen and steady, true. Strike it and hear the piece itself.

Written before it was ever sold

The Blood Ledger

01The Pattern
Weight at the head, will at the haft. An axe does not need a skilled arm, only a committed one. Which is why every levy in history was handed one, and why the men who faced them remembered it.
02The Making
Carbon steel — 9260. It will take an edge finer than any stainless and hold it through work that would roll a lesser blade. It will also rust if you look at it wrong. Carbon is a bargain: the house gives you the better edge and you give it your attention. Oil it, dry it, and it will outlive you.
03The Carry
At 12 inches this is a belt piece with presence. It will be seen. Most of what a blade this size does in the world is deterrence, and deterrence only works when it is visible.
04The Reckoning
Steel keeps no loyalty. It does what the arm does. The ledger ends where your part of it begins.

What it leaves open

Swung honestly, it keeps you close. No piece covers every yard of ground — that is why no one ever carried only one. Beside it the house would hang something that reaches past the guard before he closes.
