FLOKI: Brief Overview
FLOKI is a functional axe and hammer combo. At Blade Brothers Knives, we specifically developed this tool at the request of the Ukrainian military to meet field-life demands. It is lightweight, compact, and ergonomic. We use 66Mn4 high-carbon steel (5 mm) with an anti-corrosion coating and harden it to 55 HRC. The kit includes a nylon sheath with a mounting system.
We created the compact FLOKI axe at the request of the Ukrainian military. Their mission was simple yet demanding: they needed a tool to cut wood, handle camp tasks, and drive stakes or nails, all while remaining lightweight and ergonomic. This axe meets those requirements without weighing down your gear.

We based the design on the Viking-age Scandinavian bearded axe (Skeggøx), a versatile tool that served as both a utility implement and a formidable weapon. Its characteristic "beard" extends the cutting edge without adding unnecessary weight. This feature also allows for a higher "choked-up" grip, providing maximum control for precision tasks.
We named the axe FLOKI, after the master shipbuilder from the Vikings series. He was an inventor, an engineer, and a warrior who always found a solution. Our axe follows the same philosophy — it exists for hard work, for action, and for survival.
| Feature / Element | Description and Functional Benefits |
|---|---|
| Full-Tang Construction | The blade and handle consist of a single 5 mm steel sheet. This design ensures the axe will never snap at the connection point, even under the heaviest strikes. |
| 66Mn4 Steel | High-carbon steel offers exceptional strength and wear resistance. Hardened to 55 HRC with thermal cycling and cryogenic treatment to maximize impact toughness. |
| Protective Coating | A heavy-duty polymer finish shields the steel from moisture and oxidation, preventing corrosion in the field. |
| Integrated Hammer | The hardened poll functions as a reliable hammer for camp setup, tactical breaching, and dismantling. |
| Flat Grinds (Bevels) | The flat-ground blade slices through dense material with ease, chops efficiently, and prevents the head from binding in wood. |
| Compact Design | Overall length of 31.5 cm and a weight of 614 g. Easy to carry and excels in confined spaces. |
| Ergonomic Handle | Textured ABS plastic scales provide a secure grip. Bolt-on assembly allows for manual tightening. |
| Durable Sheath | Made from high-strength nylon with belt loops for safe carry and quick access. |
This 2-in-1 tactical multi-tool combines an axe and a hammer to tackle field tasks: chopping firewood, clearing brush, or breaking through debris. We designed the FLOKI hatchet from the ground up for military personnel to ensure comfort in harsh environments.

As a trekking axe, FLOKI replaces several heavy tools with one universal instrument. Whether you need to split logs or clear sod, this hatchet handles it with ease:
Keeping a FLOKI in your vehicle’s trunk is also a smart move for clearing road obstructions or handling off-road emergencies.
66Mn4 steel demands proper care to maintain its aggressive bite and durability:
