Wood Tamer 850 Carving Axe by Strongway Tools
Pairs well with
PRODUCT INFORMATION
Forged from premium 52100 high-carbon steel, this axe has been designed for carvers who prefer the feel of a slightly heavier head and a more traditional carving experience.
With a 650g head and a total weight of approximately 850g, it sits in what many experienced carvers consider the sweet spot. Rather than relying on speed alone, this style of axe allows you to let the weight of the head do much of the work through the downstroke, making controlled, efficient cuts with less effort than you might expect.
To complement the additional weight, we've chosen a traditional 27.5° flat grind. This provides a durable edge that performs beautifully in green timber while offering excellent control and predictable cutting characteristics.
The black ash handle has been shaped to match the feel of the rest of the Wood Tamer axe range before being finished with a food-safe oil. If you've used one of our other carving axes, you'll immediately feel the family resemblance. That was entirely intentional. We've been so pleased with the performance of the Wood Tamer range that we wanted this axe to share the same balance, ergonomics and carving characteristics while offering another option for those who prefer a little more weight.
Full credit goes to Strongway Tools for working with us to bring this design to life. Their craftsmanship and willingness to refine our ideas have helped produce another axe we're genuinely proud to add to the Wood Tamer range.
