Adler – in 1919, in the heart of Baden-Württemberg, master blacksmith Josef Schmitt, returning from the front of World War I, together with his father Philipp, founded a forge in Wiesental, where he shaped steel with passion and precision, giving it the form of tools with timeless durability. Over time, thanks to the continuous improvement of the craft and the introduction of its own handle production, the workshop has transformed into the renowned ADLER brand, whose products - made of certified ash wood and carbon steel - combine functionality with aesthetics. Today, under the leadership of the founder's great-grandson, Tobias Schmitt, the company continues the family tradition of offering gardening and forestry tools that reflect more than a century of quality, durability and innovation. The best proof of the quality of Adler products is their success in the demanding US market, which does not compromise when it comes to reliability and precision.

C60 is a medium carbon structural steel with a carbon content of 0.57-0.65% (by weight). The higher carbon content ensures considerable hardness and high tensile strength (Rm ≈ 700-850 MPa after normalization) as well as good abrasion resistance. Used for the production of high-strength components such as springs, shafts, gears, hand tools (e.g. hammers, chisels) and machine parts. It is characterized by lower corrosion resistance compared to stainless steels.

NOTE! It is not stainless steel, so it requires minimal maintenance after use or if it is not going to be used for a long time.

Head - made of high-carbon C60 steel, known for its excellent hardness and wear resistance. Each head is hand-sharpened by skilled craftsmen. Its classic Rhineland style with a wide blade allows for precise and effective cutting. Thanks to its balanced design, the axe provides optimal control during work, minimizing user fatigue. The finish of the head emphasizes its solidity and aesthetics, making it not only a functional but also an attractive tool.

Handle - made of selected American hickory wood, valued for its strength and durability. The ergonomic shape of the handle ensures a secure grip and comfort of use, even during long-term work. The bottom of the handle is coated with water-based paint with a rough, non-slip texture, which ensures a secure grip and precision during work. Additional protection of the handle surface increases weather resistance and extends its service life. The shaft is secured by a wooden wedge and a steel ring wedge, guaranteeing safety and efficiency when using the axe.

Cover - a hand-sewn leather cover for the head, enabling safe carrying of the tool.
