Adze

Expert knowledge

The adze has always been an important and highly versatile tool for carpenters, cabinet makers, boat builders and sculptors alike, and different versions have therefore evolved for different purposes. They are used for hollowing-out often large objects such as troughs, smoothing, and other large-scale carving projects. The most important detail of a good adze is the right combination of form and length of the handle, which must suit the shape of the head. But also the bevel must be customised for the individual application. An inside bevel allows the adze to be applied precisely, while an outside bevel drives the blade quickly out of the wood again for rough work. All our adzes are made of carbon-steel.
