The straight adze is one of the basic wood carving tools.
It is hand forged from carbon steel, hardened and tempered into a tool that will last you a lifetime or more.
- Forged from 1045 carbon steel
- the handle is from straight grained ash wood
- handle is oiled with linseed oil and secured in place with a walnut wedge and a forged metal wedge

- blade length 7 cm (2 3/4 in),

All the measurements may shops vary a bit as everything is done by hand and very few measuring tools are used in the process.
Any minor customizations are possible without aditional cost (handle length, slightly different profile, etc.)
I do take custom orders, just contact me if you have something different in mind.
