Prestige Leather Axe - Pale Moon Ebony

A fresh evolution of the traditional Western round knife. While classic round knives feature two tips, in practice only one is regularly used and much of the blade length goes untouched. The BALETA Leather Axe reimagines the form by removing the unused tip and replacing it with a dedicated thumb grip, paired with an ergonomic curved handle. The result is a tool that feels more nimble, more controlled, and more efficient than a traditional round knife. Think of it as a quarter knife – refined for real-world use.
 
Designed for comfort as well as performance, this knife features a rounded handle, choil, and spine to reduce fatigue during long sessions. A fine taper from handle to edge, combined with a highly polished 15-degree cutting edge, allows it to glide effortlessly through 10oz leather. Straight cuts and gentle curves are handled with equal precision.
 
This Prestige version of the Leather Axe is fitted with a stunning Pale Moon Ebony handle, finished with a mosaic pin for a touch of understated luxury. Crafted from N690 stainless steel, the blade offers excellent corrosion resistance, outstanding edge retention, and can be brought to razor sharpness with just a few strokes on a strop. With less blade to sharpen than a traditional round knife, maintenance is quick and simple.
 
The BALETA Handmade Leather Axe is a must-have tool for serious leatherworkers who value precision, comfort, and thoughtful design. Proudly handmade in England.
