Axe BRADAS KT-SN1074 with nylon handle, hardened steel head, 350 mm length, 740 g

The Axe BRADAS KT-SN1074 is a compact hand axe with a 350 mm nylon handle and a hardened steel head, designed for chopping, splitting small logs and general outdoor or workshop tasks. The tool weighs approximately 740 g and features a non-slip TPR grip surface that improves handling control during repetitive cuts. A durable finish on the axe head helps maintain cutting performance and resist corrosion from outdoor use.

Advantages

This hand axe combines a lightweight construction with a hardened steel blade to balance portability and cutting efficiency. The nylon handle delivers impact resistance and reduced vibration transfer compared with basic wooden handles, while the TPR grip provides a secure hold in varied weather conditions. The compact 350 mm length makes the axe easy to transport and manoeuvre in confined spaces, and the treated head finish extends the working life of the cutting edge.

Suitable for

• Chopping small to medium-sized logs for kindling
• Splitting small pieces of firewood
• Camp and outdoor tasks where a portable axe is required
• Light workshop duties such as trimming wooden offcuts

When it may not be suitable

This axe is intended for light to medium manual tasks and is not designed for heavy-duty felling of large trees or prolonged professional logging work. For tasks that require repeated heavy blows or extended leverage, a larger splitting maul or specialised felling axe would be more appropriate.

Key specifications

• Overall length: 350 mm
• Weight: 740 g (approx.)
• Head material: hardened steel
• Handle material: nylon with TPR (thermoplastic rubber) grip surface
• Finish: protective/durable coating on head to resist corrosion

How to use

Hold the axe with a firm two-handed grip, dominant hand near the end of the nylon handle and the other hand closer to the head for guidance. Position the wood on a stable chopping block and deliver controlled, accurate strikes to the same spot on the wood to avoid glancing blows. Maintain a steady stance and clear the work area before swinging. After use, wipe the head clean and store the axe in a dry place to prevent corrosion; inspect the head and handle regularly for damage and tighten or replace any worn components before further use.

What to consider before purchase

• Intended tasks — suitable for light to medium chopping and splitting rather than professional felling
• Length and weight balance — 350 mm and ~740 g for portability and control
• Handle material and grip comfort — nylon handle with TPR surface for impact resistance and non-slip hold
• Maintenance needs — protective finish helps, but regular cleaning and drying are required

Usage recommendations

For safe and effective use, wear appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses and gloves, work on a secure chopping block, and avoid exaggerated or uncontrolled swings. Sharpen the blade as needed following manufacturer guidance and store the axe in a dry place to preserve the hardened steel cutting edge.
