Forging a Bushcraft Froe Axe from 1900s Steel | Hand-Made Axe Build & Real-World Test

I head into the shop to bring dead iron back to life—forging a bushcraft froe axe from a piece of early 1900s steel using nothing but heat, time, and muscle. The barrel wood stove becomes the forge, pushing old steel to glowing red before it’s shaped, ground, and honed into a razor-sharp edge. No shortcuts. No modern forge. Just fire and steel. An old piece of hickory is hand-shaped into a handle built for hard use, balance, and longevity—the way tools used to be made. The final step is the only one that matters: I put the axe to work cutting kindling for the off-grid cabin, proving whether this tool earns its place or gets tossed aside. This isn’t restoration for a shelf. This is a tool built to work. Raised by the Axe isn’t about trends—it’s about strength, self-reliance, and using your hands to make something real.
