Kalthoff Small Carver Axe

The Small Carver is a specialty axe and precision tool, useful for a variety of carving jobs from removing lots of material to cutting fine surfaces. It works well for both beginners and more experienced carvers, and was developed in cooperation with renowned carver Beth Moen.

The 550 g (1.21 lb) head is easy to swing. The edge comes ready to use and holds a sharp edge for a long time. The 32° angle works well for both soft and hard wood, and hardened to 57 HRC it has good edge retention while still being easy to sharpen.

The axe is balanced just below the head, which makes every gram work to your advantage. For precision work the axe feels lighter because your grip point is at the balance point. When you need more power to remove lots of material, grip closer to the end knob so the entire weight works for you. Forged in Sweden from Swedish steel, with a handle of Swedish ash. Comes with a fitted leather sheath.
