Karesuando Unna Series - Artisan Axes from the Heart of Lapland

The Karesuando Unna Series, presented by Knife Country USA, is a line of artisan axes that embody the soul of Lapland's deep forests and its age-old traditions. Each axe in this series is not just a cutting instrument; it's a celebration of the wilderness, designed for those who appreciate the majesty of the great outdoors and the craftsmanship of the Sami people.

Meet the Unna Áksu Hunters Brown Axe with Reindeer Antler Handle (KAR3639), a compact but powerful tool measuring 8.75 inches overall. The 4-inch stainless Sandvik 12C27 steel axe head, with a 2.63-inch cutting edge, promises durability and sharpness. The one-piece oiled brown curly birch and reindeer antler handle provide a secure grip and a touch of northern beauty, complemented by the Karesuando inlay shield. This axe also comes with a black leather blade cover sheath and a double-sided diamond sharpener housed in a brown leather slip pouch, ensuring your axe remains as sharp as the Arctic chill.

Equally impressive is the Unna Áksu Hunters Axe Natural (KAR3638), which mirrors its counterpart's design and functionality with a naturally oiled curly birch handle. This variant speaks to those who prefer the lighter hues of the birch, which contrast beautifully against the rugged leather sheath and evoke the spirit of the vast, open Lappish landscape.

These axes from the Karesuando Unna Series are forged with the knowledge that in the wilderness, a reliable axe is indispensable. Whether used for splitting kindling, crafting woodwork, or as a companion on your bushcraft adventures, these tools are designed to serve reliably, year after year.
