The Small Carving Axe is used for woodworking and shaping wood where precision and control are especially important. The smaller size makes the axe perfect for those who have just started carving or prefer a lighter tool.
The handle is made from hickory and is slightly thicker than the walnut handle used in the limited edition version, an adjustment made based on customer feedback.
Perfect for those who:
- Are beginners in carving or prefer a tool that is easy to handle over longer periods
- Want a smaller, lighter carving axe for increased precision and control
- Want an edge grind adapted to their carving style

The model is based on the Large Carving Axe, developed in collaboration with master craftsmen Wille Sundqvist and Onni Linnanheimo, inspired by traditional carving axes, but scaled to about 80% of the original size.
The Small Carving Axe has a relatively long, curved cutting edge and comes as standard with a double-sided sharpened edge. The axe can also be specially ordered with a “carving grind” for right-handed or left-handed carving, with the edge ground on the left side or right side.
Right-handed users often choose the Small Carving Axe, Left Side Ground, and left-handed users often choose the Small Carving Axe, Right Side Ground, as the longer, slightly concave bevel face then comes closest to the wood, providing excellent support when carving.
The Small Carving Axe, Left Side Ground, has a short bevel face on the right side of the edge when the axe is held in the right hand with the handle down, head up, and the edge facing away from you. The left side of the edge has a longer, slightly concave bevel face that supports the axe’s contact with the wood during carving.

The axe is delivered with a sheath.
