These hand forged Bowl Adzes are meant for hollowing tasks such as when making bowls, troughs, chair seats and gutters. The curvature of the cutting edge is steep and approximates that of a No. 10 Sweep. Bevelled on the inside. They have been designed with a flat poll on the head that may be hit with a wooden mallet if needed in use. Made in Austria.
Important. This adze is not designed to be used as a pry bar. If you get stuck in the middle of a cut, pull the head out the same way it came in. Never pry it loose by bending it forward or backward as this will over time fatigue the steel.
