It is not just a beautiful decoration, a lasting gift, but also a usable, strong tool.

Small and lightweight, yet very strong and practical. Due to its size and weight, you can easily take it with you on hiking, camping trips. The head of the hatchet is made of hardened steel. The handle of the Turul hatchet is made of ash wood. Ash wood is very strong, yet a flexible hardwood. With this pairing, it is a perfect handle for wooden tools and axes. The durability of dry ash wood can be up to 500 years, but the handles are also treated with a two-layered oil finish, so they will certainly maintain their quality for a very long time.

About Turul

The Turul bird is one of the most important symbols of Hungarian mythology, which symbolizes strength, power, and freedom.

According to legend, the Turul bird carries the origin and history of the Hungarians. According to Hungarian mythology, the Turul bird brought the Hungarians down from the sky into the Carpathian Basin and led them towards their new homeland.

Rakamaz Turul discs

In the making of the Turul hatchet , I was inspired by the Rakamazi Turul discs, and used their patterns in the design. Not only because they are very beautiful and their artistic elaboration is outstanding, but also because they belong to the oldest such finds. This depiction of the Turul, these artistic discs already existed during the time of the Hungarian conquest.

The Turul find in Rakamaz is one of the most important finds in the research of Hungarian prehistory. The find provides important information about Hungarian mythology and prehistory. It proves that the role of the Turul bird was already outstanding in ancient Hungarian culture, and also that the Hungarians were capable of high-level bronze craftsmanship even in this period.

The discs are important monuments for Hungarian history and culture, and have rightly become one of the country’s best-known and most popular archaeological finds.
