Merlin Carving Axe

Premium Carving Axe 

A green woodworker's ultimate hand tool.

• Hand forged 52100 ball bearing steel- Achieves a hardness of 62 HRC for maximum edge retention.
• 27.5 degree flat scandi grind- The harder steel allows a shallower bevel angle giving a sharper edge, while retaining durability.
• Weight: 850g- The perfect balance between being light enough for detailed spoon carving but heavy enough for powerful bowl blanking.
• Blade length: 110mm- The perfect profile for precision and versatility.
• Hand Stitched Oak Bark Tanned Leather Sheath - Sourced from Tannery in Colyton, Devon.
• Each axe is individually number stamped (001, 002, 003 etc.).
• Traditional European Ash Handle - Strong, low vibration, and provides a little spring.
• Handle finished with boiled linseed oil. Natural, water-resistant finish that enhances the colour of the wood and darkens slightly with age.
• Handle length: 340mm- lightly faceted for better indexing.
