The KB-158 Danro Axe features a SC steel (mono steel) (high carbon steel) blade with oak wood handle. This hand axe, "Danro White", is a Japanese traditional hand axe. The blade is forged by skilled craftsmen. The steel material is a kind of high carbon steel called "SC steel" (mono steel). And the handle material is "Kantou-Kashi", that is high grade Japanese Northern Kanto oak wood, which is considered one of the highest class in Japan. The oak grows slowly in areas with extreme differences in temperature, making it suitable for handles because it is high density and very strong. This hand axe comes with a leather case which has a belt loop to carry it on your waist and an O-ring to hang it for storage.

Traditional hatchets are engraved with 3 lines on the right side surface and 4 lines on the right side surface. These 7 lines contains a wish for not getting in an accident during dangerous mountain work.
