Gränsfors Bruk Medium Swedish Carving Axe - Double Bevel

Gränsfors Bruk Medium Swedish Carving Axe - Double Bevel

The design is based on the Large Carving Axe, developed with master craftsmen Wille Sundqvist and Onni Linnanheimo and inspired by traditional carving axes, scaled to about 90% of the original size.

The Medium Carving Axe has a relatively long, curved cutting edge and comes standard with a double-sided sharpened edge. It 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 Medium Carving Axe, Left Side Ground, and left-handed users often choose the Medium Carving Axe, Right Side Ground, as the longer, slightly concave bevel face comes closest to the wood and provides excellent support while carving.

The Medium 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 Medium Carving Axe, Right Side Ground, has a short bevel face on the left side of the edge when the axe is held in the left hand with the handle down, head up, and the edge facing away from you. The right 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.
