Hand-forged hatchet "Starr" with leather cover

This axe is beautifully crafted. The blade has a wonderful resonance to it. It is hefty but the curvature of the handle makes it comfortable to grip. The axe holder is also beautiful and a work of art unto itself. This is my first purchase from Ancient Smithy but it won't be my last.

Absolutely loved the craftsmanship on this piece of work, it was a gift for my brother, and he loved the gift and will use it often for his bushcraft and carving adventures! Thank you, will be ordering something for myself in the near future!

Beautiful craftsmanship, not just a piece of art but a workhorse.

Bought this for my husband for Valentine’s Day. We got it yesterday and he loves it! I turned out just like what I saw online. Thank you.

This axe hangs on my living room wall until it is time to use it. Everyone thinks I'm nuts for using a piece of art for everyday yard work. I use this around the house on a regular basis and it stays sharp and beautiful.

Axes are stunning! Can be decorative, or used for chopping. They arrived beautifully wrapped with so much care. The box was in excellent shape. Mihail went above and beyond to get these to us in time. So very pleased!!! He even included a very sweet note. Love the pride in workmanship. P.s. Axes are sharp, well oiled as is the handle. Leather case for blade is of great quality as well. Thank you Mihail.

After choosing the one I liked I requested for a quote to go on it as this was a Father’s Day present for my husband and Mihail did an outstanding job in a very timely manner. After it was shipped I received it in a week. Will also be getting a leather cover for the blade ASAP. I will recommend this to any of my friends.

Fantastic product. My husband can't put it down. Details are perfect. Quality is amazing.

My son absolutely loves this axe. He's the outdoorsy type and I got this for his birthday. Super quick shipment even across seas, and the craftsmanship is incredible. Thank you Mike for such a beautiful piece of work.

Thank you! It turned out better than I could have ever expected. After something that traveled from Ukraine to the US it was very well packaged I’m not a scratch on it. We cannot wait to give this to my daughters godfather today! We will be recommending the shop to everybody.

Easy to deal with seller, beautiful craftsmanship. Would buy from again.

My husband thought this was the coolest gift ever. It’s so well made, the blade is sharp, and the engraving is perfect. Thank you so much, Mike!

This axe is absolutely stunning!! The sheath and axe look very high quickly & the axe came really sharp. For me it was also delivered close to 3 weeks earlier than the expected date. I’m very satisfied with my purchase, and I can’t wait to take it out on my camping trips.

Axe was delivered. The axe was beautifully made and personalized as specified. Wish I had read the fine print on the box. The photo shows a dark stained wooden box, but was delivered in wooden box with no stain. When ordering, you need to specify if you want it stained and what you want it to say (came 'best man' instead of 'best man ever' like photo)..very misleading...but was nice otherwise. Will have to stain myself now...disappointed in box. Great buy and beautiful tho! Thank you for the beautiful axe!

Really friendly seller, quality and craftsmanship were superb and lived up to its expectations. Will be purchasing from this company again.

The hatchet was extremely well done as well as the box it came in. Took just under two months for arrival in Canada. Mike was quick to respond to my enquiries.

I ordered a personalized axe for my brother for Christmas. The purchase far exceeded my expectations. You can clearly see the craftsmanship and care that went into this product. My brother loves it so much he said he’s not going to use it, but is going to display it. Thanks so much!

Incredible! The most unique gift with wonderful craftsmanship.

Absolutely outstanding craftsmanship and authenticity! Is truly a work of art... beyond happy and impressed, this shop is the real deal!

Everything about this order was perfect! Came exactly how I requested and the most beautiful craftsmanship I have ever seen!! Worth every penny. It is the perfect gift. Came in a timely manner as well and in excellent condition. Would HIGHLY recommend!

Mike’s craftsmanship is superb! The ax is beautiful and the personal engraving on the box and handle exactly as ordered! Beyond the quality, the shipping was lightening fast! The ax was made in a couple of days and arrived to the United States from the Ukraine in 5 days!!!! We need more businessmen like Mike! Thank you!!

looks great feels well built and very sharp
