Small Carving Axe, 0.54 kg (1.19 lbs)

To err is human, but this team is incredible.

The tool arrived, and as can happen, it had a minor issue I don't want to dwell on. Never have I received such an excellent customer service, to help me fix the issue. That in itself is worth considering this brand. But the quality of the tool is also outstanding.

Excellent Tools

I have been happily testing Forged Steel Tools on some large wood sculptures recently. Being a professional woodcarver and sculptor for over 30 years, I am very impressed by these tools. Forged Steel Tools are handmade of the highest quality hardened carbon steel and carve very effectively. Not only do they come sharp, they keep their edge with some minor stropping with rouge on leather. The strong ash wood handles are beautiful and fit the hand well. While I love the carving knife for general shaping and detail work, I am especially impressed with the small carving axe. It is a very versatile tool. Weighing approximately 1 and 1/4lbs, it fits the hand comfortably. Moreover, the light weight makes it easy to split wood with control. For precise carving, it’s also easy to choke up on the handle and carve away from you in the direction of the wood grain. Of course, always be careful. Thank you Forged Steel Tools!
