Custom One of a kind variations of my flagship carving axe!

In stock!

 

The Journeyman was born out of my fascination with those traveling craftsmen, as well as the search for a tool that I would pick up for anything from carving bowls and kuksa, while being able to shape log joints and hew paddles by hand.

In short, a companion for all carving and shaping jobs.

Based on my experience of the last 12 years of working and studying axes from Japan to Viking shipyards in Denmark, forging my own with masters in Canada and Wales and learning about proportions and balance in daily carving of spoons, kuksa and paddles.

Made from ball bearing steel, forged by Fadir in Kharkiv, Ukraine to my exact specifications after 13 months of developing and testing.

Industrially heat treated in Kiew, Ukraine, under controlled conditions, these axes are keeping an incredible edge due to a balance of hardness and toughness.

Handles are made from Ash and sheaths masterly made for each axe individually from 8-10oz oiled Ukrainian Vegtan leather and fastened with rifle studs. A combination that will not wear out like most stock axe masks on the market.

Helves are meant to have extra room for adding carved facets at your will.

Bevels are flat over hollow ground at 30 degrees and finished by hand on a strop, the way it is best for axes in my opinion and as practiced by some of the best out there.

Specs:

900g

12cm cutting edge

Balances horizontally for less fatigue

34cm handle

Heavy knob for bringing the balance point back towards your hand.
