The
Svante Djarv Small Adze 600g is an exceptional handmade tool, expertly hand forged by the Swedish woodworking toolmaker, Svante Djarv. Boasting an intuitive design, this adze is perfect for effectively carving your way into a piece of wood, crafting items such as smaller and medium-sized bowls and shaping hollow features like chair bottoms. Its exquisite weight balance combined with precise head geometry ensures optimal performance.

Specifications:- Weight: Approximately 600g.
- Head Dimensions: 140mm (5 1/2") from the cutting edge to the poll.
- Cutting Edge: The edge spans roughly 45mm (1 3/4") from corner to corner.
- Handle: Crafted from Swedish elm or ash, the 230mm (9") handle is ribbed for an enhanced grip and finished with a light linseed oiling.
- Edge Protection: We have recently invested in training and higher-quality materials to bring our leatherwork fully in-house. We now offer handmade, custom-fit full-grain leather sheaths for almost all of our premium tool ranges which, if properly cared for, can last as long as the tool itself. For transparency in pricing and to ensure fairer access to these tools, sheaths are no longer included with the price of the tool and can be purchased separately. A Woodsmith leather sheath for this tool can be purchased here.
