Sale Lee Valley Gränsfors Swedish Carving Axe

Hand made by professional smiths in a small factory in Sweden, Gränsfors axes are a pleasure to use. They have grace, heft and balance that reflect good design and craftsmanship.

This carving axe, with its design based on traditional Swedish carving techniques, is good for roughing large carvings and architectural work. It has a 4 1/2″ edge that is asymmetrically ground with a right-handed bias, a 14 1/2″ long oiled hickory handle and a 2 lb head.

Each axe is marked with the initials of the smith who forged it, and is fully honed, ready for use. Supplied with a full-grain leather case and an informative booklet outlining proper usage, cutting techniques and care instructions.
