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.
Use the knife now for a reasonable time, and I have to say that I use this knife more often than my other knives. Especially because of the shape of the sleade. The knife is easy to keep sharp. Disadvantage of buying in the Netherlands is the import duties that come on top of the price (about € 15,-) I had not taken this into account. Nevertheless, I am very happy with the knife. A good addition to my wood carving knives.
