The material selection and processes such as the hand carved faceted ergonomic handle which represent the next generation of my handle design to complement this axe head design specifically. \u003cspan\u003eThis carving axe is an ideal choice for beginners or experienced folk alike whom prefer a a lighter axe with a shorter handle that could fit in a travelling bag easily.\u003c\/span\u003e I have pushed my skills to their limits in order to create axes that are not just exceptionally functional but going beyond the simple aesthetics of a working tool. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis carving axe was designed with ergonomics and functionality in mind. The traditional bearded head profile, and the faceted re-curved handle makes it an ideal carving axe.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe axe head is forged by Oscar Rush and it is designed to really utilise the long cutting edge in a compact size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFeatures my signature faceted hand carved  English Ash handle.The facets improves the grip on the axe, which means you can use your axe longer without getting blisters or fatiguing your hand. I have stained the handle midnight black, so it creates a truly unique look.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eThe symmetrical 30 degree flat grind is an ideal choice for cutting performance but robust enough to maintain a sharp edge for a longer period of time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eThe hand-stitched thick vegetable tanned leather sheath with added stamp work is custom made for this axe, so they fit perfectly and protect the razor sharp edge. \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003eAdditionally the corners are reinforced with copper rivets to guarantee the longevity of the sheath so it can protect the razor sharp edge. The red stiching is matching the padauk wedge in line with the visual language of the whole axe.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI have introduced a proud wedge on all of my axes. This serves a dual functionality. If the axe is going to be used in a really hot and dry climate there is a chance that the handle might shrink a little but with a few taps on the wedge the handle could be re-tightened. The secondary function of this is that with an axe that is meant to be used for generations there will come a time when the edge needs to be re-ground and this is a lot easier to achieve if the head is removed from the handle. With a proud wedge it is easier to get a purchase on the wedge and remove it as opposed to when it's trimmed flush.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-rte-list=\"default\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTotal weight: 693g (approx)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCutting edge length: 15cm (approx)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHandle length: 27cm\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAxe Head: Ball Bearing Steel\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIf you are ordering outside of the EU please be aware that you may be charged custom fees when you receive your order.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Soulwood Creations","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45401165463599,"sku":null,"price":350.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1658\/0161\/files\/DSCF7617.jpg?v=1780078475","url":"https:\/\/soulwoodcreations.com\/products\/carving-axe-super-slicer-oscar-rush-axe-head-2","provider":"Soulwood Creations","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
