Homestead Heritage Forge

Camp Axe

By

A 22-inch hand-forged camp axe sized for one or two hands, the do-everything axe for the firewood pile and the campsite. Big enough to split rounds and drop a small tree, short enough to pack in and limb with one hand.

Handmade in Central Texas

Every camp axe is forged one at a time by hand at our shop in Waco. The head is heated and hammered to shape, the edge is ground and sharpened by hand, and it is hung on a hickory handle fitted to that head. Because it is made by hand and not by machine, no two are quite identical.

The hand-forged steel head

Hand-forged from high carbon steel, heated and hammered to shape one piece at a time. Heavy enough to split and chop with real authority, light enough that you are not worn out after a load of firewood.

The hand-ground edge

Ground and honed by hand to take and hold a working edge. Sharp enough to limb and carve, tough enough to bite into seasoned rounds without rolling over. A few passes on a stone or a file bring it back.

The hickory handle

American hickory, the wood that has handled striking tools for generations because it soaks up shock without splitting. Twenty-two inches, the in-between length that swings one-handed for close work or two-handed when you need more power.

  • Head Material: High carbon steel
  • Edge: Hand-ground and honed
  • Handle Wood: American hickory
  • Overall Length: 22″

Forging Hammer

By

A hand-forged blacksmith hammer patterned after the Hofi style, made one at a time at our forge in Waco. Balanced for control and force, it moves hot metal with less effort and less strain on your arm, whether you are a working smith or just getting started at the anvil.

Handmade in Central Texas

Every hammer is forged by hand right here at our shop, the same tools we reach for at our own anvils. The head is forged and dressed by hand and hung on a hickory handle shaped for a comfortable, working grip. We make the tools we trust to make everything else.

The forged steel head

Forged and dressed by hand, with faces ready to work straight off the rack. The weight is set close to the eye and balanced so the hammer does the driving, not your shoulder.

The Hofi pattern

The Hofi style is known among smiths for its ergonomics. The geometry keeps the face landing flat and the weight working with your swing, so you move more metal per blow and feel it less in your wrist and elbow over a long session at the forge.

The hickory handle

American hickory, shaped for the loose, relaxed grip the Hofi technique calls for. Hickory soaks up shock without splitting, the reason it has handled striking tools for generations.

The two weights

Offered in a 2 lb and a 3 lb head. The lighter hammer favors control and longer sessions; the heavier moves more metal with each blow.

Specifications

  • Head: Hand-forged steel
  • Pattern: Hofi style
  • Handle: American hickory
  • Weights Available: 2 lb, 3 lb
  • Origin: Handmade in Central Texas
  • Intended Use: Forging and general blacksmithing

Hatchet

By

A 14-inch hand-forged hatchet light enough to swing one-handed all day and heavy enough to bite. Made for splitting kindling, limbing branches, driving tent stakes, and the run of small chopping jobs around camp or the property.

Handmade in Central Texas

Every hatchet is forged one at a time by hand at our shop in Waco. The head is heated and hammered to shape, the edge is ground and sharpened by hand, and it is hung on a hickory handle fitted to that head. You are buying a tool a person made at a forge, not one a machine stamped out by the thousand.

The hand-forged steel head

Hand-forged from high carbon steel, heated and hammered to shape one piece at a time. The weight sits forward where the work happens, so the hatchet carries the swing for you instead of making you muscle it through the wood.

The hand-ground edge

Ground and honed by hand to take and hold a working edge. Sharp enough to shave kindling and carve a point, tough enough to chop into seasoned wood without rolling over. A few passes on a stone or a file brings it back.

The hickory handle

American hickory, the wood that has handled striking tools for generations because it soaks up shock without splitting. Fourteen inches overall, sized for one hand, with enough length to choke up for close work or grip the end for a full swing.

Specifications

  • Head Material: High carbon steel
  • Edge: Hand-ground and honed
  • Handle Wood: American hickory
  • Overall Length: 14″
  • Weight: 1.75 lbs
  • Origin: Handmade in Central Texas
  • Intended Use: Camp, kindling, limbing, general chopping
