The double-bitted mortise axe, the symbol of carpentry, is a combination of mortise axe and mortise chisel and is used for cutting mortises. At one end there is a double-bevel axe blade, at the other end a chisel blade that is offset by 90° with a bevel at the top. Both cutting edges are conical to allow mortises to be cut to their full depth.
The two ends that are precisely offset by 90° and the unusual length make this type of axe extremely complex to manufacture. To ensure precise orientation and optimum balance while making the axe as robust as possible, our model has a diamond-shaped eye forged from a single solid piece. The axe’s centre of gravity is thus shifted towards the eye, providing optimum balance and striking control.
