The Svante Djarv Timber Axe Single Bevel is a powerful tool when timber framing or log building, and is mostly used like a large chisel, for instance on the sides of the notch.
The Djarvs only grind this particular axe with a chisel bevel, which means a single bevel on one of the sides of the blade. The other side is flat. They make it with a right bevel and a left bevel, but we currently only stock the right bevel option. The axe pictured has a right bevel.
