Entirely non-technological, these weapons manage to appear both ornate and primitive thanks to the material of their construction and are often underestimated by those who have yet to feel one's bite.
The main body of these axes are constructed of dense cedar wood made from the slow growing Veshok trees of Mandalore and treated with a blaster resistant varnish made from the resin of the Ori'ramikad tree. This shaft of wood is cut in a hexagon pattern for added strength. The forward half of this wooden shaft is plated in a Mandalorian Steel and continues the hexagonal pattern. The head of the axe is similarly constructed of Mandalorian Steel and carefully shaped to maximize cutting power while maintaining precise weapon balance.
The whole body of the axe is imbued with the Manda in the way of the Jal Shey, greatly enhancing its durability, the force of blows made with the blunt end of the axe, and the cutting power of blows made with the sharp end. While these axes would typically be quite lightweight thanks to the materials of their construction, a side effect of the mystic imbuement is that the overall weight of the axe is increased. However, the total weight of the weapon is still far lighter than a similarly constructed axe would be if made from Beskar.
In addition to these general imbuements made to the material of the weapon itself, runic engravings have been carved along every metal facing of the weapon. Based upon the principles of old Sith Runes, these Runes are written in the ancient Taung language and serve to call upon the Manda to produce specific effects. In the case of Gemcutter axes, this mystical effect manifests as the ability to sever a Jedi (or Sith) of their connection to the Force. Though it can take several repeated strikes to inflict the full desired effect, these blades will weaken a Jedi's connection with the Force with each landed blow (even when striking with the blunt end of the weapon) until they eventually loose their ability to manifest mystic abilities all together.
