meet the makers
Marcis forges the axe heads in his own forge. Hard work goes into hammering and shaping them all by hand and eye. You can see it in the marks he leaves on every axe, making them all unique.
Janis crafts the handles in a workshop attached to the house where he lives with his family. He chooses the wood, carves and sands every handle to fit its own unique axe head perfectly.
Dace creates the leather sheaths in her quiet home studio. From thick 5mm hides she cuts, stitches and molds each sheath by hand. This gives the axe both protection and character.
All three makers live and work in Latvia, each from their own small workshop at home. Independent artisans keeping their craft alive. By choosing their work, you make it possible for them to continue creating with the care, time and detail that only true craftsmanship allows.
