Large Carving Hatchet by Gransfors Bruks
Large Carving Hatchet by Gransfors Bruks

£80.00

2 In stock

Quantity:  



A great little carving hatchet, i'd say a lightweight alternative to the double ground Large Carving Axe (formerly Swedish Carving Axe), for those of you who don't require the heavier head or broader blade. The nicely carved red beech handle offers fantastic balance and hand positioning. The head actually comes directly from the Wildlife Hatchet, but it's clear from the shape and longer length of the handle that it's made for carving. Length from eye to handle's end: 14.4" Length from poll to blade's edge: 5" Length of blade: 3.2"....

Gransfors Bruks Large Carving Axe Previously known as the Swedish Carving Axe A chop axe for hewing bowls and other wooden objects, artistic wood carving and architectural work. The characteristic curved shape of the cutting edge, carried well above the heads eye, the position of the edge in proportion to the handle, the rather thick bit and the big angle of the wide beveled face makes the axe a good carving tool. You "cut on the beveled face" with curved movements. This new axe pattern, based on old Swedish carving techniques, is developed by Wille Sundqvist, master craftsman and author of ....

The Gransfors Bruks Carpenters Axe These axes have a straight edge and thin blade with low angle of the bevel face, suited for work in dry wood. The forged inward curve from the heel to the lip of the head allows your hand to grip almost straight above the center of the edge. This, and the long straight cutting edge, gives rigidity, stability, and control when cutting. Functions like a good heavy knife. The axe poll is ground and can be used as a hammer. The head weighs 11/2 lb and has a 3 1/2" face. The axe has an 18" hickory handle and a grain-leather sheath. We will age verify all purchas....

Gransfors Bruks Swedish Draw Knife
Gransfors Bruks Swedish Draw Knife

£134.00

1 In stock

Quantity:  



Drawknives are used primarily for rough shaping of green wood, such as in the making of chair parts or tool handles. They are also quite efficient for removing bark from logs to be sawn into planks. Drawknives are customarily used at the shaving horse, but may also be used with the workpiece clamped in a large vise. This stout drawknife's hickory handles are set straight out from the ends of the blade, so your hands are in their strongest and most natural attitude for vigorous pulling with the upper body as much as with forearms & biceps. The 11-1/2" blade is both bowed up and curved forward ....
