Very impressive at first glance. Polished cutting edge needs no additional work to make sharp. Have yet to see how the steel holds an edge over time. The concave face is tricky to sharpen. Qiute well pleased with the tool so far. Made in Ukraine?
Thank you for your detailed feedback! We’re glad to hear you’re pleased with the tool and its sharpness right out of the box. Yes - each tool is hand-forged and finished in Ukraine by our craftsmen. Over time, you’ll find that the steel holds its edge exceptionally well, even with regular use. The concave face can indeed take a bit of practice to sharpen, but once you get the hang of it, it’s quite straightforward. We really appreciate your trust in our work!
The bowl gouge is hand-forged & well made with an ash handle & a sharp, polished edge. All the gouges I ordered were very well packed, & shipping from Warsaw to Texas only took 5 days! The price-point is unbeatable!

I love this axe. Comparing it to my Kalthoff Small Carver I find it very evenly balanced. The weight at just under 1.5 pounds is just right for me. The price was a real bargain. Highly recommended for spoon carving.
Thank you for your kind words and great comparison! We’re glad to hear you love the balance and feel of the axe — it was designed exactly for that precise control in wood carving. We really appreciate your support and wish you many enjoyable carving sessions ahead!
