Bowl Adzes

The first of our large batch of bowl adzes are now in stock. This is our popular elliptical sweep adze. By elliptical sweep, I mean that the curve of the cutting edge is flatter in the center, tightening up on either side, thus resembling an ellipse rather than a semi circle. This adze cuts quickly, yet leaves a slightly smoother finish than an adze with a semicircular sweep like our kuksa adze. These adzes are forged from American made 4150 steel which is a higher carbon version of the popular 4140 used by many blacksmiths. Handles are hand made from American hickory. If I had only one adze, this would be the one.

If you use our adzes, which is your favorite? Leave a comment below and tell us which adze you like and why.
