THE DO-IT-ALL AXE

THE TRUCK AXE

Nathan breaks down the features and intention behind the design of the Truck Axe.

WHY THE TRUCK AXE?

At first glance, the Truck Axe may look like an old tool - but it’s anything but outdated. It’s the result of decades of research, experimentation, and hands-on forging by blacksmith Nathan Brandt.

Drawing inspiration from legendary designs like the Buster Axe and other time-tested patterns refined over centuries, the Truck Axe distills what has always worked best into one purposeful tool. Heavy enough to split and fell, compact and balanced enough for precise, everyday use, it’s a true crossover axe built to live in your truck and work hard when needed.

This isn’t nostalgia. It’s proven design, refined - made to last a lifetime and then some.

TRUCK AXE FEATURES

EDGE GEOMETRY

A convex edge provides strength where you need it, maintaining sharpness under heavy use. This contour helps minimize sticking when splitting wood.

HEAVY HARDENED POLL

A heavy hardened poll balances the axe and provides a reliable striking tool when you need it most.

EXTENDED WEDGE

Extending the handle just above the head provides additional retention and allows for optimal fit.

ROBUST HANDLE

At 24" long, the Truck Axe is small enough to fit under the seat of your truck or slip into a saddle bag - while performing all the tasks of a full-sized axe.

FAQ

Do you ship outside the USA?

We can. Please reach out to confirm details before placing your order.

Is the TRUCK axe easy to maintain myself?

Absolutely! Stay tuned to our YouTube channel for content on maintaining your tools.

Is my axe covered by a warranty?

Yes. Every Farmsmith Co. tool carries a total lifetime guarantee. Anytime you need a sharpening or a handle replaced, ship it to us and receive back a refreshed tool for free.

Do you allow returns?

Of course. If the tool does not meet your needs, you can return it to us within 30 days of delivery, unused and in like-new condition.

What happened to the Founder's Edition package, and why did the price change?

The Founder’s Edition was a limited, one-time launch offering from Farmsmith Co., created to commemorate the beginning of the brand. It included a numbered Truck Axe along with additional items like accessories, apparel, and other extras.

That edition has now sold out completely. We’re now offering the Truck Axe and its leather sheath as a standalone tool at a lower price, with accessories and apparel available separately.
