The Gutter
Adz is patterned after time-tested tools and is hand
forged to the correct curve and sweep. The hand forging and
modern steel lends it its remarkable toughness. The tool is
shipped with a hard wood handle ground to fit. This is a beautiful
adz to use. Gutter adz has a blade length of 7", overall
length of 9" with approximately #6 sweep.

The Ship
Carpenter's Adz is specifically designed for hewing timbers.
When used in conjunction with our scarf slick your timbers will
have a terrific hand hewn look. Hand-forged toughness makes this
an incredible adz to use. Comes with a custom fit hickory handle.
4½" cutting edge.

Our Djaerf
axes and adzes come from S. Djaerv Hantwerk in Sweden.
They make only about 4000 hand forged tools yearly. Every tool
has a unique impression, the surface is black and dented from
the hammer blows. Hardening and tempering leave markings of oxidation
layers. Finally the tool is tempered and submerged in warm linseed
oil. Only the blade’s edge is glistening.
Our
blacksmiths will create almost any hewing tool which you
may want to have forged. Send us your drawing or picture with
dimensions and we will respond with a reasonable quote and delivery
schedule.
