Securis began as a hands-on exploration of form and traditional toolmaking. Starting with sketches, digital modeling, and iterative 3D prints, the design was refined for balance and ergonomics before being fabricated by bandsaw cutting and hand-carving Mansonia wood with a rasp. The final tomahawk-style axe was finished with a protective polyurethane coating, with the name Securis derived from the Latin word for axe.
