Developed in cooperation with renowned carver Beth Moen, the Small Carver Axe by Julia Kalthoff is both  versatile and precise. Beginner and experienced carvers will benefit from the small yet strong design.

The head comes in at 550 grams and is easy to swing and manoeuvre. The axe head is hardened to 57 Rockwell so will hold its edge well and offers ease of sharpening.  The total weight of the axe is ~710gm.  The 30-32 degree angle on the axe makes it truly versatile and perfect for both hard and soft woods.

The balance point of the axe is the same as your grip point meaning the axe has a lighter feel and that every gram works to your benefit.

Forged in Sweden from Swedish steel with a Swedish ash handle, this axe is one you will treasure for life.

Julia is so confident in the quality of her axes that each comes with its own serial number and lifetime guarantee.

Sheath Included.

Small. Strong. Well Balanced. Tough Edge.

Julia Jalthoff carving axe

I would highly recommend this axe to any thinking of purchasing this axe. It is a wonderful axe to use razor sharp straight from delivery and the weight means you can use it for long periods of time. Also the customer service from Chris at Wood tamer is of a benefit to all green woodworkers

Perfect for Spoons

I bought this axe to upgrade from a Helko Black Forest Hatchet. The Helko works fine now, but it took quite a bit of work to correct the bevel and it is quite heavy for detailed work and long carving sessions. This Kalthoff axe is light, really well balanced and holds and edge for a good long time. It is hung perfectly! When I choke up on the head it is super comfortable in my hand and I can make the smallest of cuts with precision. Sometimes I simply use it to shave off flakes of wood to clean up a spoon. It's no big tree chopper, but the weight is enough to carve without wearing me out. I recommend it.

Now my favourite axe

This is now my favourite axe
It is well balanced, beautifully sharp, maintains its sharpness really well and is easily kept sharp with stropping 1st suede & compound & finally leather.
The Robin Wood axe was nice to use as a beginner. It’s served me well and I don’t regret starting with it. And now after getting this axe I realise how much nicer it is to use this Kalthoff axe and appreciate its finer points all the more. You won’t regret it 😁

Perfect

I've been making do with a Gransfor Bruk Wildlife Hatchet but this carving axe is significantly better. The balance, the size, the weight, the shape of the cutting edge, the profile, it's just perfect. Easier to use and control and feels like a natural extension of your arm.
