Product Description
A small carving axe for all sizes of carving.
This stout hand forged carving axe has a 95mm - 100mm (4'') edge - SYMMETRICAL grind (also known as double grind).
The head weight is approximately 475 - 500g.
If striking the poll, do so with a wooden mallet (not a steel hammer).
The handle is hand carved by Oscar, 275mm - 285mm long (just over 11''), faceted, kin dried ash handle.
The leather cover is also made by Oscar using Italian leather with solid brass rivets (these are much stronger than cap rivets).
Please note each of these tools are forged, ground and handled by hand which makes each of these beautifully functional edge tools unique.
There will be slight variations between each tool which is part of their beauty but the crucial curves and alignment are consistent for each tool.
Hand forged from 070M55 steel and proudly made in Suffolk, UK.
These tools are made in small batches by artisan blacksmith Oscar Rush.
If you miss out on a batch, please email sales@classichandtools.com and we will advise when the next batch is due (we anticipate 4-5 batches per annum).
These axes were made widely available through Classic Hand Tools in the spring of 2024. As anticipated, there has been strong demand world wide for these side azes and Oscar's other hand forged tools.
Apart from side axes, carving axes and small hand adzes, Classic Hand Tools have commissioned Oscar to make some other edge tools which will make their appearances later on in 2025.
