✔️ Head: Made from 52100 carbon steel, a strong and wear-resistant steel valued for toughness, edge stability, and long-term durability. With proper care, it can maintain a sharp working edge for demanding hand-tool woodworking.

✔️ Handle: Made from ash wood, a resilient hardwood known for strength, shock resistance, and a comfortable natural feel. Its compact shape gives the tool a solid grip while keeping it easy to control in the hand.

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

The rounded cutting edge helps work inside curved wooden forms, making it useful for bowls, spoons, kuksas, cups, and similar handmade projects.

With a 21.5 cm overall length and 430 g weight, this adze is comfortable for precise hand work and detailed carving tasks.

The 4.5 cm blade width gives enough cutting surface for efficient wood removal while still allowing careful shaping in smaller carved pieces.

The tool is well suited for traditional green woodworking, rough hollowing, shaping blanks, and working with handmade wooden forms.

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

To keep your bowl 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.
