The Svante Djarv Middle Adze 700g showcases the craftsmanship of Svante Djarv, a celebrated toolmaker in Swedish woodworking tools. This adze stands out with its exceptional balance, designed for versatile use.
Ideal for crafting most bowl sizes, except the very small ones, it's also adept at shaping concave features, like chair bottoms. Its intuitive design derives from the synergy of its weight, head geometry, sweeping action, and a prolonged, somewhat flat external bevel. Additionally, a concise bevel is incorporated inside.
