Motor City Axe

Motor City Axe is your one-stop shop for custom, hand-painted axes and hatchets. We work with both new and refurbished tools to create the most unique products. The vision for Motor City Axe was born out of our love for lasting craftsmanship, a desire to work with our hands and a passion for the outdoors. Each axe/hatchet is made in the USA and custom, hand-painted in Detroit, MI. This idea blossomed almost 8 years ago when our founder discovered his late-grandfather’s Kelly Axe and Tool hatchet in the garage. The hatchet had withstood the test of time. In the hustle and bustle of the world we live in, a majority of people feel stuck. A pawn in the corporate world. We aim to help break the norm. Grab a hatchet, book a trip and hit the trails. Reconnect with yourself and with nature. Create a story worth telling. The custom axes and hatchets we sell, have and will withstand the test of time. They tell a story. The city they are crafted in has, countless times, been ruled out but both have risen from the ashes.
