Overview
Honshu Karito Battle Axe With Sheath
The Honshu Karito Battle Axe is a modern tactical design that started as a reinvention of the traditional Japanese wood-carving axe which was enlarged and reshaped to become a menacing and broad-bladed fighting axe. The axehead is crafted from 7Cr13 stainless steel which triple-mounted into a robust handle of impact-resistance injection-molded nylon. The axe is completed with a leather axe sheath with a buttoned retaining strap and belt loop for wear.

Q&A
Questions from the community
Q What is the Karito Battle Axe made of, and how big is it? Common Question
The head is forged from 7Cr13 stainless steel in a broad, curved bearded-axe profile, and it's triple-mounted into a handle of impact-resistant injection-molded nylon. Overall length is 26 3/4" with a 9 1/4" blade, and the whole axe weighs 2 lbs 10.5 oz.
Q Does this axe come sharp, and can I put it to use? Common Question
Yes, it ships with a sharp edge on the 7Cr13 stainless steel blade. It's classed as Battle Ready, meaning the head and handle assembly are built to hold up to real cutting use, not just stand as a display piece.
Q What can I actually cut or practice on with this axe? Common Question
With its broad, curved bearded blade and sharp stainless steel edge, this axe is built for cutting practice on targets like tatami mats and water bottles. Its Battle Ready construction and reinforced handle mounting also make it suitable for general chopping tasks.
Q How does the handle attach to the head, and is it secure? Common Question
The head is triple-mounted into the nylon handle, and the photographs show visible screws running through the handle scales near the head for a secure, reinforced fit. The grip section has a textured, ribbed pattern for traction, with a flared butt end to help keep the axe in hand during use.
Q What does the sheath look like and how do I carry it? Common Question
The included sheath is leather, fitted to cover the blade portion, and closes with a buttoned retaining strap to keep the edge secured. It has a belt loop, so you can wear the axe on a belt when carrying it.
Q How do I take care of this axe to keep it in good shape? Common Question
Since the blade is sharp, wipe it down after use and keep it lightly oiled to protect the stainless steel edge from moisture. The leather sheath should not be kept on the blade for long term storage because it can accumulate moisture which can damage the blade.
Q Is this axe a good fit for someone who wants a functional tactical-style axe rather than just a display piece? Common Question
Yes, this is a good pick for buyers who want a Battle Ready axe they can actually use, thanks to its sharp 7Cr13 stainless steel edge and reinforced nylon handle.
