✔️ Head: Made from 52100 carbon steel, a tough and durable steel valued for edge stability, strength, and reliable performance when properly maintained. It is a strong material choice for compact forged tools that need to stay sharp during detailed hand work.

✔️ Handle: Made from ash wood, a resilient hardwood known for shock resistance, strength, and a comfortable natural feel in the hand. The short handle makes the tool compact and easy to control during precise carving work.

✔️ Leather Sheath: Made from Crazy Horse leather, a durable leather with a dense structure and vintage-style finish. It helps protect the sharpened edge during storage and develops a natural patina with use.

The 22 cm overall length and 420 g weight make this adze easy to handle for detailed shaping, hollowing, and controlled wood removal.

The straight cutting edge is practical for clean cuts, surface shaping, and working on small wooden forms where accuracy matters.

The 5.5 cm blade width works well for spoons, kuksas, small bowls, cups, and other carved wooden projects.

The compact ash handle gives the carver a close, controlled grip, which is useful for careful hand-tool woodworking.

The Crazy Horse leather sheath covers the sharpened edge when the adze is not in use, making storage and transport more practical.

To keep your straight carving adze in good working condition, wipe the steel head dry after each use and store the tool in a dry place. Apply a light coat of oil to the carbon steel to help prevent rust. The ash handle can be treated occasionally with natural oil or wax to preserve the wood. Make sure the blade is dry before placing it into the leather sheath.

This Hand-Forged Straight Carving Adze is a practical handmade tool for wood carvers, spoon makers, kuksa carvers, and green woodworkers who value compact size, controlled cuts, and durable forged materials.
