The Vision: Excess, Volume, Theatricality

They’ll Never Make It...

The spirit of loud rebellion, forged into functional art.

Two icons and two eras of KISS™, united in one cohesive tribute to the band, instantly recognizable to fans. Too complex, they said.

The Axe Bass reengineered as a functional meat cleaver. So faithful to the original, KISS themselves would nod approval, grip up, and say, “Let’s rock”. Impossible. Can’t be done, they claimed.

Sammy The Serpent, sculpted and hand painted in painstaking detail. The ultimate backdrop for the greatest show on earth. Too intricate. Too unstable. A Pipedream, they insisted.

The Execution: Craft, Dedication, Defiance

… So We Made It Anyway

KISS™ spent half a century proving critics wrong. We figured we'd follow their lead.

Through years-long development. Unprecedented manufacturing techniques. Unheard of collaboration between engineers, artists, and craftspeople. 

Because the band who spent fifty years defying critics deserved a tribute just as bold, just as loud as they were.

Why should I pre-order?

Given the limited 650-piece production and extreme demand, there is little chance that this item will be available on general sale. This is your best opportunity to secure one. Pre-ordering ensures your piece of KISS™ collectible history.

When will it ship?

Pre-orders are estimated to ship no earlier than Mid 2026. Each piece undergoes final hand-finishing and meticulous quality control, so we prioritize quality over speed.

How limited is "limited edition"?

Only 650 Gene Simmons' HELLFIRE DEMON AXE pieces will ever be made. This is a one-time-only production run. When they're gone, that's it—no redos, no second editions, no exceptions.

Why only 650 pieces?

This is the artisan approach to collectibles that defines everything we do at StudioForge™. We specialize in ultra-limited editions, creating some of the world's most unique collectibles. By avoiding mass production, we ensure not just the highest quality, but extreme rarity.

Can I use this axe in the kitchen?

While designed primarily as a collector's displayable, Gene Simmons' HELLFIRE DEMON AXE is fully functional and will perform exceptionally. The 7CR17MOV steel is built for heavy-duty use. However, most collectors choose to keep their Bladed Displayables™ in unused condition to preserve both value and pristine appearance.

Use & Care Instructions

Gene Simmons' HELLFIRE DEMON AXE is first and foremost a culinary collector's item, designed primarily for display. While the blade features premium materials and engineering, the unique materials require special attention if you choose to use it.

For collectors, we recommend keeping it in unused condition on its display stand, in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture.

For those who wish to use the axe, please note that the genuine leather handle will require occasional conditioning, and the blade—while highly functional—demands proper care to maintain its pristine condition.

Essential Care

Hand Wash Only: Clean with warm water and mild soap immediately after use. Never leave food residue or moisture on the blade.

Dry Immediately: Thoroughly dry the entire axe, paying special attention to the leather wrapping and joints between blade, pickguard, and handle.

No Dishwasher: Never place the axe in a dishwasher as this will damage both the blade and handle finish.

Leather Care: Occasionally treat the leather wrap with appropriate leather conditioner to maintain grip and appearance.

Store Properly: Always return the axe to its display stand when not in use, in a cool, dry environment.

Expert Recommendations

Respect the Leather: The wrapped handle is genuine and will need occasional conditioning with quality leather conditioner.

Avoid Extreme Temperatures: Don't leave in direct sunlight, extreme heat, or very cold environments.

Handle With Rock Star Care: This is a limited edition piece; treat it like the legend it represents.

By following these care instructions, your Gene Simmons' HELLFIRE DEMON AXE will remain a treasured centerpiece for years to come.

Deposit, Returns & Shipping:

Why is there a $99 shipping fee?

Due to their rare nature and extremely high value, every StudioForge™ piece is shipped from our Toronto vault, exclusively reserved for StudioForge™ items, directly to your door. We use a white-glove service including custom protective packaging, fully-insured transit, and signature confirmation upon arrival. The $99 shipping fee* allows us to partially absorb these costs, ensuring your piece arrives in pristine condition.

If you choose to pay in full, we waive this fee and include free shipping.

Deposit Structure

Why do I need to pay a deposit?

To secure your pre-order, a non-refundable deposit of 20% is collected upfront. This guarantees your item is reserved. Here’s how it works:

20% deposit locks in your collectible.
- Remaining balance will be automatically collected when your item ships.
- Your item is reserved exclusively for you during this time.

What if I cannot pay the remaining balance?

The remaining balance due will be automatically collected when your item ships. We will let you know in advance that your StudioForge™ item is due to be shipped. In case of payment failure, we will contact you via e-mail to process the remaining balance within a set deadline (from your original account or a new payment method). We will attempt to collect payment up to two more times within this timeframe. Should the payment still not be processed or if there is a failure to respond, the order will be cancelled and the deposit forfeited.

What if I want to cancel my order?

Orders can be cancelled for up to 24 hours after purchase. Your deposit is non-refundable. To cancel your order, please email info@dalstrong.com with your Order ID.

What Is Your Return Policy? (WIP)

For defective / damages products
If your item arrives damaged or has a manufacturing defect, please contact us within 48 hours of delivery. We’ll work with you to provide a replacement or refund, depending on stock availability.

Because many of our items are limited edition, replacements may not always be available. In those cases, a full refund will be issued.

Please note:
Due to the handcrafted nature of each StudioForge™ piece, minor variations in paint or structural elements may occur. These do not affect the function, quality, or collectible value of the item, and are not considered defects.

To start a return and damage claim, please contact info@dalstrong.com with:
- Your order number
- A description of the issue
