Q: What kind of work is this axe designed for?
This small carving axe is designed for close, controlled shaping work, thanks to its slim blade and choked-up grip near the cutting edge.
48U0550 - Gränsfors Small Carving Axe
Hand forged in a small factory in Sweden, this axe was designed based on traditional Swedish carving techniques. With rounded lugs, sharply nipped shoulders and a slim blade section, the 1 lb head has a classic shape and a 3" double-bevel edge. The short, thick 10" oiled hickory handle permits a “choked-up” grip directly behind the cutting edge for control when shaping.
This axe has grace, heft and balance that reflect good design and craftsmanship. Comes with a grain leather sheath and is fully honed, ready for use.

Yes, it arrives fully honed and ready to use, with a grain leather sheath included to protect the edge.
The 10" handle is intentionally short and thick so you can grip it close behind the head for the fine control that detailed shaping work requires.
