I've been looking to get a small carving axe for a while. So when I saw an article in the Grauniad about a Ukrainian tool maker who was continuing to work in spite of the war, I thought I could support him and get myself the axe I'd wanted. So I went onto the website and ordered a Small-sized Carving Axe. The axe was made in about two weeks and it took another 2-3 weeks to get to me (with a delay in customs), so about a month from order placed to receiving the axe.
I'm really pleased with the axe. It fits into hand beautifully and the balance is just lovely.
The edge looks good - though I've only used it on one smallish job so far - so not long enough to judge how the edge will last. It certainly cuts well as manufactured.
The axe is symmetrical and a perfect weight for small carving work IMO.
I am very pleased with my purchase and can highly recommend these axes. More items are available on the Fadir Tools site.
