This hand-forged carving axe is available in two blade profiles — the same steel, the same handle material, the same standard of edge, but a different geometry for a different approach to the wood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAxe 1 is the heavier tool. At 700 g (1.54 lb) with a longer handle at 33.5 cm (13.19 in), it carries momentum through larger stock and rougher cuts — the axe you reach for when there is significant material to remove before the detail work begins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAxe 2 is the control axe. At 480 g (1.06 lb) with a shorter handle at 22.5 cm (8.86 in), it stays precise and responsive close to the form — the axe that shapes, refines, and removes material where a heavier tool would overcut.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBoth head lengths are 10 cm (3.94 in) at the blade. The profile of the blade is what differs — choose based on the work and the feel in hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCarving Axe 1\u003cbr\u003e\n— Blade Length: 10 cm (3.94 in)\u003cbr\u003e\n— Head Length: 15 cm (5.91 in)\u003cbr\u003e\n— Handle Length: 33.5 cm (13.19 in)\u003cbr\u003e\n— Weight: 700 g (1.54 lb)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCarving Axe 2\u003cbr\u003e\n— Blade Length: 10 cm (3.94 in)\u003cbr\u003e\n— Head Length: 12.5 cm (4.92 in)\u003cbr\u003e\n— Handle Length: 22.5 cm (8.86 in)\u003cbr\u003e\n— Weight: 480 g (1.06 lb)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e• Materials: Both axes are hand-forged from 52100 carbon steel, hardened to 59 HRC — steel that holds a working edge through extended sessions in green wood, hardwood, and softwood without chipping under lateral load.\u003cbr\u003e\n• Handles are shaped from ash, finished with natural oil.\u003cbr\u003e\n• Each axe comes with an individual hand-stitched leather sheath, riveted at the stress points, protecting the blade between sessions.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CraftoriaShop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57111155442039,"sku":null,"price":209.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0984\/3952\/8823\/files\/il_fullxfull.8027524476_n842.jpg?v=1779399956","url":"https:\/\/www.craftoriashop.com\/products\/hand-forged-carving-axes-carbon-steel-52100-blades-ash-handles-leather-sheath","provider":"CraftoriaShop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
