Axe Yamazaki Tokyo Otoko Sewing Machine

Just by looks alone, the Axe Yamazaki Tokyo Otoko Sewing Machine will immediately become an object of desire for anyone who appreciates classic industrial design and solid ironware manufacturing: weighing 11.6 kg (25.6 lb), made of cast iron, and coming in a sleek black with a sturdy flywheel, the Tokyo Otoko is definitely worthy of the word "machine" in its most old-fashioned sense! But it would be a waste to treat this as an ornament: its capabilities are more than a match for its looks!

Because of its heavy-duty construction, the Axe Yamazaki Tokyo Otoko Sewing Machine can handle much more than simple fabric: leather with thickness up to 5 mm (0.2"), 7 mm (0.3") thick canvas, up to 12 layers of denim, and up to 8 layers of tarpaulin are all within its range. And because of the flywheel, you can also work it by hand for both better power and precision. And because its maker, Axe Yamazaki, has been around the block a few times since its founding in 1946, it also has some hidden features like a vertical half-rotation wheel for straight stitches and stitch feed width adjustment!
