Description
Buhurt Axe is a basic, reliable one-handed axe for armored combat. It is a strong starter weapon for buhurt fighters who need short-range power, good control, and practical use in wrestling.
TL;DR: light enough to handle fast, strong enough for hard close-range hits, and reinforced for real league fighting.
Specifications:
- Weight: 0.9 kg (1.98 lbs)
- Full length: 56 cm (22 in)
- Blade length: 9 cm (3.54 in)
- Shaft size: 4.5 × 3 cm (1.77 × 1.18 in)
- Axe back thickness: 10 mm (0.39 in)
- Edge thickness: 4 mm (0.16 in)
- Head attachment: Steel rivet through the haft and pin
- Use: Armored combat, buhurt, and mass fights
The Buhurt Axe works best at short distances. Because of its compact 56 cm (22 in) length, you can strike, hook, push, and wrestle without fighting against a long shaft.
Also, the 0.9 kg (1.98 lbs) weight gives you good control during fast exchanges. That matters when you miss a hit, recover your weapon, or need to change angle while your opponent is trying to close the distance.
The reinforced 4.5 × 3 cm (1.77 × 1.18 in) shaft adds durability where it matters most. In real fights, your axe will take blocks, falls, shield pressure, and ugly clinch contact, so a stronger shaft is not just a nice detail.
The axe head is secured with a steel rivet that runs through the haft. As a result, the head stays firmly in place during hard use, including wrestling and repeated short-range strikes.
The 10 mm (0.39 in) back thickness makes the axe suitable for IMCF-style requirements, while the 4 mm (0.16 in) edge thickness keeps it safe for armored combat use across major leagues.
- Great starter axe for armored combat
- Short and controllable for close-range work
- Useful for wrestling, hooking, and hard strikes
- Reinforced shaft for better durability
- Riveted head for reliable fight performance
- Safe blunt edge for tournament use
If you want a simple, tough, and practical first weapon, this Buhurt Axe is a smart place to start. Add it to your kit and feel the difference.

Fantastic bit of kit and wonderfully made. Arrived in time for IMCF too
Sword is damn nice
Thank you SO much for my incredible helmet. It’s beautiful!!
Comfortable flexible fits perfectly cant wait to put them to use
Well manufactured and feel good in the hand, they both look great.
Has a significant wobble if not struck directly on the edge. Handle is too small for gauntlets
This will cause some serious damage
