In Sanjo City (famous in Japan for its metal-working), Mizuno Industries was founded in 1937 by Yoshio Mizuno, originally making replacement blades for wood planes.
At the time, axes were popular tools for farming and forestry, as well as for chopping logs for fires to heat water for bathing. Still in industrial use today, their use now also includes chopping logs for wood stoves, campfires and other outdoor activities.
At Mizuno, we make a variety of axes and other tools, both traditionally-shaped and modern-styled. You’re sure to find one to exactly suit your needs, from daily tasks such as chopping logs, to special projects requiring high-quality pliers for working with sheet metal.
