A specialized type of Japanese axe designed for precise, controlled cuts, possibly with a specific use in mind where interruption of the cutting process needs to be minimal and controlled.
The “Interrupting ” horse axe with a 450g weight and a grilled handle is a specialized tool, combining traditional Japanese craftsmanship with practical design for specific tasks.
The Interrupting axe, often used in agricultural settings for tasks such as trimming hooves or cutting through tough materials, has a specific design tailored to the needs of those working with horses or in farm-like environments. The 450g weight suggests it is designed to be lightweight yet effective, allowing for precision without causing excessive fatigue during use.
The grilled handle likely refers to a process of treating the wood used for the axe’s handle, possibly through a method similar to the Japanese “Shou Sugi Ban.” This technique involves charring the surface of the wood to preserve it, making it more resistant to moisture, pests, and decay, while also providing a unique texture and grip. This durable and tactile finish enhances the tool’s functionality and longevity, making it well-suited for demanding tasks in various environments.
How to use
- Hatchet: An ax is put into the firewood, and the firewood is smashed against the hard ground with a “concon” sound to split it. If the wood has bitten in to a certain extent, you can break it by pounding it while chopping wood. You can safely break it by hitting it with less force and the weight of the axe.
- Wood splitting: Place the firewood on the wood splitting stand, spread your legs, and swing the wood splitting down.
Maintenance
After use, remove dirt from the blade with a cleaner, wipe with a dry cloth, dry thoroughly, apply rust preventive oil, and store in the case.
If the blade becomes dull or chipped, lightly dampen the whetstone with water, sharpen it with a coarse whetstone, and then finish with a fine whetstone.
Handling precautions
It is for cutting wood. Please do not use it for any other purpose.
If you swing the ax from a higher height than necessary or apply excessive force, the ax will twist and come off the firewood, which is very dangerous.
Trying to swing an ax with your arm will not only be tiring but also increase the risk of injury. Try to divide it by the weight of the ax.
Before use, check the joint between the head and handle to make sure it is not about to come off.
If the handle is loose, lightly tap the bottom of the handle against the ground until the handle is no longer loose.
If the wedge is loose, lightly tighten it with a hammer.
Do not hit the ax head with a hammer.
If you leave it wet, it will hurt quickly. Store it in a dry room to prevent the blade from rusting and the wooden handle from rotting.
Please keep out of reach of children.
