The 100mm axe is the largest of the three Mizuno Seisakujo axes at CKTG, and the additional mass and blade length make it the right choice for tasks that step past kindling - splitting mid-size logs for a camping fire or wood stove, clearing heavier brush, and the kind of sustained outdoor work where a smaller hatchet would require more strokes to accomplish the same result. Isao Mizuno of Mizuno Seisakujo forges these by hand from carbon steel, and the quality of the edge and the head geometry reflects that tradition.
At 1 lb 12 oz and 337mm total length, with a 137mm head and 103mm blade, the proportions are well balanced for single-hand use with controlled power. The stained oak handle is straight. Like the smaller sizes, the head geometry is oriented toward cutting efficiency rather than blunt splitting force - this axe rewards controlled technique more than heavy swings, and repays that care with speed and productivity. The included leather head cover protects the edge and the user during carry and storage.
Care Instructions: Carbon steel. Wipe and dry after use. Apply oil to the head before storage. Keep clean and dry. Store with the leather head cover on. Sharpen on a quality sharpening stone.
