There’s something about the creeks, the woods, the great outdoors. It draws many to its peaceful, quietude. Away from the run and hustle and bustle, it provides a breath of fresh air (pardon the pun). For some it’s a retreat or weekend get-away, while for others it’s more of a way of life. God has created such a big, broad, beautiful outdoors, and it’s a blessing to get to enjoy this masterpiece.

Right now is the perfect time to order your axe, to have it in hand for your fall camping, hunting, canoeing, backpacking, and backwoods adventures. We’d love to see your outdoor snapshots, and what excursions you and your axe find yourselves on this coming season!

You can apply it on the head, handle or the leather sheath of your axe, and it creates a waxy film to protect from the elements. Whether your axe accompanies you on regular backwoods adventures, camping trips, or sits in a drawer, Axe Wax will help to keep its luster.

Axe Wax is very easy to use and apply to your axe and sheath. It can be rubbed on periodically and buffed with a cloth, or applied and left to create a protective film for extreme conditions. For axe storage, simple apply the Axe Wax and rub down to a thin coating. Once you’re ready to use your axe again, simply remove excess wax with a little oil on a rag, and your axe is ready to hit the woods with you again!

Hello everyone and happy Friday!

We hope you’re all and enjoying this Summer season. Things have been pretty busy around here, and you may have noticed that the blog has been a little quiet lately. But we’re back and thank you so much for stopping by!

Ike currently has six different axe models that he makes, ranging in purpose and application from bigger jobs to small hand work. The models are The Canoe Axe, The Bush Axe, The Carpenter’s Axe, The Trail Axe (in two handle lengths), The Chipper, and The Timber Pup. You may be wondering about each model, what they’re used for, what’s the difference, and which model is best suited for your need.

For any of you who would like a closer comparison look at each Wolf Valley Forge axe model, I’m so excited to share a video with you today! In this video, Ike tells about each axe and what application they’re best suited for. We hope you enjoy!

Thanks again, and hope you have a wonderful, safe weekend!
