      <image:caption>Axes are amazing. The history, the aesthetics, the culture, everything. When we started making axes 2,5 million years ago, this marks our transformation to become humans in prehistoric times. Since then the axe allows us to fell trees, build houses, hunt, maintain a fire and more. We have explored new land and built new societies with an axe in our hand. For me it started with a curiosity about the dirty work of shaping glowing steel using my own body. I learned forging at axe forge Gränsfors Bruk and then started working at axe forge Wetterlings, first as stand-in for the manager and then as ceo. It was a great honor to be a part of these teams and I learned a lot. By starting my own company and working in smaller scale I could create conditions to stay true to my values in all aspects of the tool and in each step of the making. Always keeping high standards and working without compromise is my inspiration. Making axes, using axes and thinking about the different details of an axe never stops to fascinate.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Philosophy</image:title>
      <image:caption>I really love the feeling when axing. To be relaxed and work in your own rhythm. The axe becomes an extension of yourself. Sometimes you use your whole body to chop off big chunks, and sometimes you gently carve see-through shavings. Disappear in looking at the grain to see where to place the next cut. Slowly let the shape get closer to your aim. Listen to the sound of a sharp tool in the green wood. As important as the axe has been in the history of mankind, it still is for us today, but not for the same reasons. Working with your hands makes you relate and connect to the world around you in a more respectful and humble way. Craft and nature also work as a calm oasis for many people in this fast spinning world. The axe embodies strength in so many ways. I make axes out of curiosity and love for the tool itself. Also, because making tools for others is like spreading waves of all this around the world. Hoping they will inspire people to make something with their own hands, giving others as much satisfaction as it gives me. Julia Kalthoff</image:caption>

      <image:title>Our axes - Thorough research and testing</image:title>
      <image:caption>Making an axe starts with the idea about what to use the axe for. I carve prototypes in wood, and then forge them in metal. I use the axe a lot, and professional carvers test continuously. Then I keep making new versions slightly different from the previous one, and continue to adjust each detail until I have reached my axe. I make small series of the axe in cooperation with carefully selected suppliers. We make them in certain ways based on what really adds to the function and durability of the axe. Everything is made in Sweden. Together we are Kalthoff Axes.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Our axes - First grade Swedish steel</image:title>
      <image:caption>We have chosen a chrome-molybdenum-vanadium steel. It’s made in Swedish Smedjebacken, at a steel mill renowned for it’s quality. When testing a number of selected steels, this steel outperformed the others. Each alloy element affects the steel in a certain way. The modest carbon level gets us up to desired hardness, and avoids brittleness. The molybdenum increases ability to harden, increases wear resistance and reduces brittleness. The vanadium helps to get a finer grain during forging. This combination gets us just the right hardness, high toughness and robustness, meaning that the edge bites well, and takes and holds a sharp edge for a long time.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Our axes - Precision forging</image:title>
      <image:caption>We die forge the axes to get a high density and homogenous structure without pores or cracks. It's an old forging method where tool halves together form the shape of the axe between them. The big hammer head smashes the tools together and the blacksmith works the white hot steel from tool to tool until it has the right shape. This way we get great control of working in the right temperatures, which allows us to not compromise our choice of steel. We can forge in our first choice steel rather than using a lower alloyed steel. In addition, forging in one heat makes the hardening more precise because the carbon content is not reduced from numerous reheats.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Our axes - Special heat treatment</image:title>
      <image:caption>Hardening is the most important aspect of the axe. Our hardening technique is carefully developed to ensure that the edge will take and hold a very fine edge for a long time and that the axe head will withstand a lot of abuse. This keen method is more time consuming and costly, but definitely worth the effort. In our tests, this edge lasts remarkably longer. The tests are done in dry pine knots with edge angle at 27 degrees.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Our axes - Strong and flexing ash</image:title>
      <image:caption>We are using Swedish native wood for it's good properties as axe handle material, and to cherish the long and rich history of Swedish axe culture. The idea is to get raw materials as close as possible, and not cross the stream to get water. Ash is our favorite because it is hard and tough to endure a bad hit, but also elastic enough to flex and pick up vibrations to protect the hands from the strike. It is traditionally used for axe handles in southern Sweden. The ash we use grows in northern Skåne. The color of the wood is bright in the sapwood and darker brown in the heartwood. The grain is clearly visible making it very beautiful.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Our axes - Fitting and securing the handle</image:title>
      <image:caption>We make handles by turning and hand shaving, then oiling with raw linseed oil. The shafting is done with great care. Both handle and wood wedge are fitted furniture dry to be as contracted as possible. We secure the wedge with wood glue. We do not use steel wedge, since it does not effect the durability or performance of the axe, only making rehandling more difficult.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>A cavity allows the hand to carve from the center of the edge when holding close, which increases fine cutting precision. Holding closer to the end knob empowers each strike to remove bigger chunks of wood. The long curved edge easily carves into the wood. The flat bevel makes the sharp edge catch the fibers without bouncing off or sucking into the wood. The handle curve aligns well with the edge line from every grip point. Oval handle profile allows for good direction and stabile grip. The generous end knob protects the axe from sliding out of hands when chopping hard. The ash is hard and tough for not breaking from a bad hit, and flexy to pick up some of the vibrations to protect the hands from the strike. The axe is balanced just below the axe head, which makes every gram work to your advantage. When you do precision work, the axe feels lighter because your grip point is the same as the balance point. When you need to remove lots of material and need more power, you grip closer to the end knob so the entire weight is working for you.</image:caption>
