Our Adzes, adze irons and kits all come with a 12 page booklet with 29 photographs and 3 pages of drawings which includes full size adze haft templates. These materials cover adze use, sharpening and hafting your adze iron. Our adze haft blanks are Eastern Rock Maple. I have added to the value of the adze kits by rough shaping the haft. This gives the carver something to go by when finishing the shape. It is natural for a person new to these tools to be somewhat conservative when shaping the haft – to make these tools really sweet there is a lot of wood that must be removed before the carver will end up with a tool with the right balance and correct functionality. My pre-shaping will get you to where you need to go much faster. All of the kits include haft, iron and heavy duty leather sheath and a length of nylon twine for the wrapping. If you are ordering an iron only you may request a length of twine to go with it. Spools of twine are available on the 'Store' page.

Adze recommendations for the beginning carver
Adzenys Manufacturer
Adze Valheim
There are so many possibilities it can be confusing—it needn't be. We sell two types of adze: the elbow adze and the D-adze. Most of the advantage lies with the elbow adze. I do not recommend you buy a D-adze unless you know why you want it. Gutter adzes are good for wasting wood with and across the grain. If I was starting with one tool, I'd choose the Sitka Gutter adze. Straight adzes are somewhat more traditional on the coast. Many carvers use them almost exclusively; mask makers consider them essential. They are especially good for flat accurate cuts. An adze does not rebound like a hammer on a nail, so it is a mistake to buy too heavy an adze. For this reason, smaller people and those with less powerful wrists should stay with the baby adzes. Fast accurate cuts are better than wild flailing with a heavier tool.
