Hewman

Crafted through a collaboration between the renowned Stubai forge in the Austrian Tyrol: responsible for forging and heat treatment and Hewman of France: specialists in precision grinding, handle fitting and premium leatherwork, this is a traditional carving axe built for serious woodworkers and green woodworkers alike.

The oiled ash handle offers the natural balance, comfort and control that experienced carvers expect, sitting securely in the hand for extended carving sessions. Its finely tuned 30-degree flat grind delivers excellent edge geometry straight out of the box, providing the ideal balance of sharpness, cutting efficiency for spoon carving, bowl carving and general wood carving axe work.

There’s no unnecessary reinvention here - just a focus on proven Scandinavian-style axe design and time-honoured craftsmanship. The result is a high-quality carving axe that combines traditional forging methods, dependable edge retention and exceptional value for woodworkers seeking an affordable yet professional-grade woodworking axe.

Designed for precision, durability and everyday workshop use, this is an ideal choice for anyone looking for a reliable carving hatchet that performs beautifully from the first cut.
