The head weighs 11/2 lb and has a 3 1/2" face. The axe has an 18" hickory handle and a grain-leather sheath.

Gransfors Sweedish Carving Axe Gransfors Sweedish Carving Axe -- $140.00 -- Gransfors Sweedish Carving Axe A chop axe for hewing bowls and other wooden objects, artistic wood carving and architectural work. The characteristic curved shape of the cutting edge, carried well above the head’s eye, the position of the edge in proportion to the handle, the rather thick bit and the big angle of the wide beveled face makes the axe a good carving tool. You "cut on the beveled face" with curved movements. This new axe pattern, based on old Swedish carving techniques, is developed by Wille Sundqvist, master craftsman and author of Swedish Carving Techniques in cooperation with craftsman adviser Onni Linnanheimo. The handle is "rugged" to give a good grip. The axe has a 4 1/3" face and a 14" hickory handle and the head weighs 2 lb. It comes with a grain-leather sheath.

Gransfors Throwing Axe Gransfors Throwing Axe -- $190.00 -- Gransfors Throwing Axe Different models of double-bit axes have been popular in the US since the last quarter of the 19th century because of its balanced feel and versatility. Typically, one blade was sharpened to a finely honed, narrow “felling edge”, while the second blade was ground slightly blunter, and used for knots and cutting near the ground where a finely sharpened blade was more likely to be damaged. Today the double-bit axe is used as a Working Axe or as a Throwing Axe for timber sports. The head weighs 3 lb and the face of the bits are about 6”. The Throwing Axe has a 29” straight hickory handle and the Working Axe has a 35” straight hickory handle with swell-knob. They come with two grain-leather sheaths.
