We often get asked the question: Why titanium, and why a titanium axe? It’s a softer material than steel. Will it hold its edge over time? The answer may surprise you. It is true that the Rockwell Hardness of titanium is less than steel. Titanium is anywhere from 38-42 and steel axes can be in the range of 50-60 HRC. Rockwell Hardness is measured by an indenter made of diamond or tungsten carbide. It uses the hardest materials known to man and measures how much force it takes to deform a metal or metal alloy. However, this is not how an axe is used! An axe is not striking a hard material. It’s striking wood.
