Adler is a German brand of gardening and forestry tools with a history dating back to 1919. The company began as Josef Schmitt’s village forge in Wiesental and today concentrates its production in Waghäusel. Under one roof, it combines the forging of metal heads with the production of wooden handles. The family business is now run by the fourth generation of the Schmitt family.

The axe head is forged from unalloyed C60 carbon steel and coated with a protective layer against corrosion. The handle is made of American hickory, known for its strength and ability to absorb shocks. A cowhide protective sheath is included.

Store the axe in a dry place. After use and before long-term storage, clean the steel head and apply a thin layer of protective oil, such as camellia oil. To restore the edge, use a sharpening stone or puck; avoid overheating the edge with a powered grinder, as this could affect the temper of the steel. The leather sheath can occasionally be treated with a suitable leather care product, such as Huberd’s Shoe Grease.

When working with an axe, maintain a stable stance and ensure a safe area around you. Do not use the axe as a wedge for splitting with a hammer or mallet, and do not subject the handle to sideways leverage. If the head becomes loose or the wooden handle is damaged, always replace the entire handle with a new one.

Keep out of reach of children.
