Lightweight Buhurt Axe for Better Handling
At approximately 1 kg (2.2 lb), this axe offers a relatively lightweight option for armored combat. Its 62 cm (24.4 in) length also keeps the weapon compact, which helps when fighting at close range.
The shorter handle makes the axe easier to position during clinches and crowded exchanges. In addition, its manageable weight helps reduce fatigue during repeated strikes and weapon repositioning.
However, the axe still requires proper control, especially when fighting at close range against other armored opponents.
Reinforced Wooden Handle
The axe features a wooden shaft with additional reinforcement and wrapping near the head. This area experiences considerable stress during armored combat, particularly when the handle contacts an opponent’s weapon or armor.
The wrapping helps protect the wood from surface damage while providing additional grip near the axe head. As a result, the handle offers better durability during regular training and tournament use.
Rounded Rear Section Without a Hammerhead
Unlike axes with a hammer or spike on the opposite side, this model features a rounded rear section without a hammerhead.
This construction keeps the rear profile compact and avoids an additional striking projection. The axe also features a blade thickness of at least 4 mm (0.16 in).
Choose Your Axe Head Shape
This product is available with several axe head designs. While the general dimensions and construction remain similar, the exact head shape varies between options.
Please check the photographs of your selected variation before ordering. The variation images show the actual axe head shape you will receive.

Fits amazing came exactly as picture and the belt is incredibly comfortable
Solid, well-thought-out design. The extra elbow coverage is a big plus, and the adjustable straps make it easy to get a good fit. Compact, sturdy, and practical for buhurt.
