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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTo 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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFull credit goes to Strongway Tools for working with us to bring this design to life.
