“Les Haches”: The crowdfunding campaign is underway!
A few days ago, on January 8, 2026, we launched a new Kickstarter campaign to fund Les Haches. Let us tell you more about the project right now! 🪓
Daniel Boucard's French book Les Haches was first published in 1998. Over the decades, it has established itself as a reference work on the history, typology, and aesthetics of the axe in Western Europe. Unavailable for many years, it is now set to make a comeback — thanks to Caurette — in a brand-new edition. 📖
Yes, we want to breathe new life into this cult title, but without simply reprinting it. We have worked extensively on the content of the book, which has been revised and updated. Our goal was to improve its clarity, consistency, and readability, while respecting the spirit and rigor of Daniel Boucard's original work. ✨
This book is for anyone interested in tools and know-how:
- curious minds
- collectors
- blacksmiths
- historians
- craftsmen
- journeymen
- researchers
- artists seeking historical authenticity
- enthusiasts of beautiful objects and heritage
If you find yourself on this list, if you know someone who is on it, or if you are simply interested in the project, you can check out the crowdfunding campaign! In fact, in just a few days, it has already reached its goal! 🎉
You can still make a contribution. In return, you will receive the book (along with extras) as soon as it is available. Alternatively, you can also pre-order it on LiberDistri.com: just click here! For your information, shipments are scheduled for summer 2026. 📦
We hope you like it!
See you soon,
The Caurette-LiberDistri team
→ Please note: Non-French-speaking readers need not worry! The book should be published in English soon... just be patient!
