The Axe Odyssey

Once upon a time in Sweden, there were two friends – Nils, a blacksmith, and Dio, a woodcarver – who shared a passion for creating beautiful things. One day, they decided to combine their talents to create a carving axe unlike any other.

The blacksmith poured his heart and soul into creating the perfect axe. He used only the finest materials and spent countless hours honing the blade to perfection, while Dio spent hours carving the handle from ash wood with his knife. When they finally finished, they both knew it was a masterpiece.

They wanted the axe to be used for great things, potentially bringing together woodcarvers from all over the world. So, they decided to send it on a long journey. Dio approached other woodcarvers and makers, telling them about the axe and asking for their help on its long journey…

The 3rd prototype of the carving axe we are developing with the blacksmith Nils Ögren @nilsogren is travelling across the globe, giving you the opportunity to test it. Fancy a shot?

The Axe Odyssey campaign is inspired by the poem Odyssey written by the ancient Greek poet Homer. The Odyssey tells the story of the hero Odysseus and his journey home in which he encounters numerous obstacles and adversaries. Themes explored in the poem include heroism, hospitality and loyalty. It has been a major influence on Western literature and culture, and is still widely studied today.
