Hand forged hatchet “Vill Gustus” with leather cover

I've been wanting a small axe to carry with me in my outdoor adventures and finally found this one. It is absolutely beautiful! Very strong and well balanced. Its obvious that careful consideration was put into the handle, its shape, the grain, and fitment are spot on. This is something that I will years of pleasure using and that can be passed down to my kids. A perfect tool to carry in Oregon! Thank you so much! Side note: I just ordered another one for my mom and dad to carry with them in their camp trailer.

PERFECT. Ascia fatta a mano splendida in ogni dettaglio. Forgiata elegantemente. Il mio compagno sta guardando il sito per altri acquisti. He love it. Staff cordiale, sempre disponibile. Vi auguro il meglio.

I knew I wanted to buy a set of axes/hatchets but wasnt sure who to use. Fortunately I came across this site and the ability to support a company out of Ukraine really made the decision easy for me. I was glad to go over my budget a bit if it meant doing that. Of course, I didnt want a junk product and these feel far from that. Really pleased with these and I hope the folks getting them think the same. As you can see in my photo there is excellent consistency across the axes but each had flavor to it as they were put together. They were also packaged exceptionally well and oiled before shipping. The blades are very sharp and the grip feels quite natural. Im not an axe expert but these feel like great general use and camping axes which is what I was hoping for. Really I expect most receiving these to simply display and that is ok too. My only complaint is that I didnt get myself one but Im pretty sure I will in the near future as I'm very happy with what I got.

Husband loves it...one of his favorite gifts!

The ax was if the highest quality and just a stunning design. It is for my son I cannot wait to see his reaction. AND it arrived so quickly.........was just perfect!!!

This was such a beautiful gift for my husband!!!! The craftsmanship is incredible!!! I highly recommend!!! Thank you so much!!!

I bought this for my husband as a Christmas gift and be absolutely loves it! It is beautiful and authentic. Thank you!

This is a work of art! Gave it to my husband for Christmas and he won’t stop talking about how beautiful and amazing it is. Absolutely would buy again from this shop. Shipping was also way faster than expected for overseas shipping!

Amazing quality and fast shipping.

I got this for my husband for Christmas and he loves it. Exceeded expectations.

Everyone was blown away by this gift.

The axe came very fast and I was stunned when I opened up the package. The box is absolutely stunning and the axe was everything I hoped and more. You could smell the sent of pure wood as well. I gave it to my boyfriend for Christmas and he loves it!

Very good work.

I ordered this beautiful axe for my husband for a 5th year anniversary gift. It’s even more beautiful in real life and my husband was impressed with the quality and craftsmanship. Shipping was fast! Thank you!

I bought this for my father's 70th birthday. He's of Norwegian heritage and holds a wood-chopping event every fall. He was incredibly impressed with the quality of this axe and the engraving is beautiful. It was also delivered earlier than expected. Highly recommend as a special gift!

The item arrived earlier than expected, with the quality being absolutely stunning! All expectations were met.

This item is absolutely beautiful. The pictures do not do it justice. Very happy with purchase.

Stunningly beautiful work. Exceptional quality and superb craftsmanship. I presented two of these axes to my coworkers for a promotional gift and they loved them. Mihail’s work is truly gorgeous and he was very professional in all correspondence. My items arrived, on time and perfect condition. Thank you.

Absolutely gorgeous! The exquisite carvings on the box; the beautifully handcrafted axe handle; the sheath to accompany the blade...all superb! I was so proud to give this as a gift and the engraved name just put it over the top!

FEDEX delivered to the wrong address....again. Thankfully my neighbors are nice. Once I opened it, I was immediately mad at myself for not getting one for me too. It is absolutely beautiful. The craftsmanship is masterful. I asked to have a Nordic rune Carved in the handle and was perfect. I will order from Ancientsmithy again.

Fast shipping. Amazing craftsmanship! The customization is perfect. Thank you so much. My brother will love this for Christmas!

The axes and custom boxes we ordered exceeded expectations. I couldn't be happier with the quality, communication, and overall experience with Ancientsmithy and Mihail. I was curious how shipping from Ukraine to the U.S. would work for axes, but it went very, very smoothly. I ordered on Nov 4 and received the items Nov 29. Impressive! The items were shipped with great care to protect them. These axes will be presented to my son and nephews as an initiation into adulthood over Christmas. I can't wait for them to see them and use them! Thanks Mihail!

Beautiful! Looks exactly like the photo, seems very high quality workmanship

Excellent quality. Very fast shipping.

Excellent craftsmanship! I got this for a friend to cut kindling. The weight is perfect. The blade, woodgrain, and leatherwork are all exquisite. It looks like a piece of art. The seller was quick to respond to my questions about engraving. Arrived a few days earlier than expected to United States. Functional and beautiful!

product as described, excellent quality, highly recommended

Very happy with the design and effort put into these. I had custom requests for engraving and the box itself, and they were very accommodating. Highly recommend!

The craftsmanship for this item is like no other. We bought this as a retirement gift and it exceeded all expectations. Thank you for your attention to detail and prompt shipping. I hope to be back as a future customer to surprise my husband with one as well!

Great, solid workmanship, and the custom engraving looks great! Had my coat of arms and name added to the handle, and I'm thrilled!!

A beautiful axe. Amazing box! Terrific craftsmanship. Fast delivery to Germany in safe packaging. Absolutely recommend.

Great axe for the price. I was impressed with how quickly it shipped into the US with no issues.

Absolutely stunning piece of work. Got this for my boyfriend for wood work and I’m excited to give it to him. Shipping was SO quick to NS, Canada. Did get hit with $41 CAD custom fees but that was pretty expected, I just didn’t know how much. Definitely going to buy again from Mihail in the future. It’s so sturdy and so aesthetically pleasing it doesn’t look real, looks like a prop. Haven’t put it in use yet but it’ll be determined at our next camping trip if it holds up!

Beautifully made and shipped with care. Look even better in person than the photos. Feel great in the hand, nice weight, very sturdy.

Excellent quality, it’s absolutely beautiful, my husband is so happy with this b-day gift! Love it!
