Axe History
In the late 1600’s, Trading Posts were set up throughout Canada trading with the natives, trappers and settlers, where furs were traded for axes, muskets and general supplies. Most trading posts had their own blacksmiths. Along with general smithing, they also made axes. Over the years the axe evolved into numerous styles. Today, known as the Hudson Bay Axe.

In 1907 a family of knife makers from Solingen Germany immigrated to El Salvador. This Family continued the tradition of making knives and axes until 1965 at which point they returned back to Germany to purchase state of the art forging equipment and retrain with the finest german craftsmen, to this day they continue manufacture the highest quality of goods in their factories in El Salvador.
