Hope this can go here, not sure what sale forum it would go into. Looked but didn't find any Adze for sale to guide me. These ADZE are rarely ever available. Demand has outpaced to small makers as more folks get into woodworking.

-----Info

Rare short handled adze from Swedish tool makers Hans Karlsson Klensmide AB.

Includes a thick leather sheath.

In Sweden they call this a Tjackelyxa Kort Skaft

Lighter and smaller head than most hand adzes, perfect for smaller bowls, larger spoons and ladles.

Total weight approx 630 grams.

Cutting edge is approx 35-40mm (1 3/8"- 1 1/2") from corner to corner with a main external bevel and a smaller internal bevel, ground to aprox. 25 degrees.

Hand forged from Swedish Uddeholm steel, Arne SS1672 which is formulated for toughness and holding a long-lasting sharp edge.

Ash or elm handle made from trees grown just outside Hans Karlsson's home town of Motala, Sweden, 230mm (9") long, lightly oiled.

Comes sharpened and honed ready to work.
