Big/heavy axe for days and a night,you have prooved that point

[@dominicm6144]

Your axe work is spiritual to watch. Wow, accurate, measured, practiced, safe. Amazing job.

[@woodsmansfinest3814]

Thank you so much!

[@stevew585]

This looks great, after a ton of research I went with the Robin Wood carving Axe

[@bushcraftcowboy5174]

What a fantastic blade! I use a heavier axe as well, I find myself accelerating a lot less. Great video!

[@woodsmansfinest3814]

Cheers for the feedback!

[@769890]

What a wonderful Tool, amazing work max. So intuitive to work and yet so precise.

[@grumpyoldwizard]

I have the GFB Swedish Carving axe. This looks a lot like it.

[@woodsmansfinest3814]

Great axe. This is in every way a different axe except for having a head and a haft. That's like comparing apples and pears.

[@benmiguras]

Lovely shape to the axe head!

[@benyeries.7964]

Awesome brother.. beautiful Axe...love to see it...i hope you have similar axe to show

[@woodsmansfinest3814]

Cheers. In stock on my website right now. Just a few left.

[@MrJendatu]

Very nice axe. 😉👍

[@woodsmansfinest3814]

Cheers... I can't put it down!

[@nigelwylie01]

Max, I own one of your Journeyman axes, and I have to say the development, devotion to detailed excellence, and use of the finest materials makes it my first choice for a travelling axe. And I have a few (including ones by Svante Djarve, Gransfors Bruk, & Wood Tools amongst others). I cannot recommend these tools too highly.

[@woodsmansfinest3814]

Wow... I'm really taken by this kind feedback. This is exactely what I tried to achieve. Wouldn't be possible without the guys understanding my vision though and making these axes to the exact specs. Thank you so much for the support!

[@22busy43]

I plan to get one of these in the next couple of months.

[@woodsmansfinest3814]

Thank you very much! We will increase all prices slightly from May due to higher material and energy prices. Just a heads up. It is by far my favourite axe I've ever used.

[@FrugalShave]

Beautiful

[@280AI]

Wow. That’s all I can say. You could carve the spoon from start to finish except for the bowl with your little axe. Beautiful work b

[@woodsmansfinest3814]

Cheers... Yeah I design my axes to by versatile beasts and take the blanks very far. Thanks for the nice comment!

[@jitesar]

Difficult decision making between Wayfarer, Journeyman and Karelia. I see I would like to have all of them. Ordered Karelia as my first Woodsmans Finest axe. Looking forward to it.

Gracias

[@kalanyosjozsef2601]

Thank you for this axe ,got it,love it!!! Also can you please advice me on something else as well. I would like to know your opinion on the svante djarv little viking axe Thanks again Joe

[@woodsmansfinest3814]

Thank you so much. The little viking is nice. Great looking axe. Not my cup of tea when it comes to balance, haft shape and ability to carve with but for other purposes probably very nice. I designed my axes different for a good reason.

[@johndon121]

Great video. What is the overall length of the axe?

[@woodsmansfinest3814]

Check it out on my website please! Woodsmansfinest.com

[@kvouilloz3948]

Woah this axe is gorgeous!!!! Been looking at axes recently, am quite new to carving so this is a great video

[@woodsmansfinest3814]

Cheers! All my axes are designed based on whatever I found missing in others I've used and reviewed over the past 7 years. I recommend the Journeyman as the best Allround axe there is right now. Woodsmansfinest.com/shop-4

[@Michalis_Karakostas]

Great axe!! Do you know from Hultafors, which one is for such a woodcrafting work?

[@woodsmansfinest3814]

None of them. Why not shopping on my website for all the different options.

[@Glockler]

Will this axe be one sale?

[@woodsmansfinest3814]

Yes, it was for years, and then war in Ukraine hit. It will be out again soon. Go to my website and subscribe to the newsletter please!

[@aHigherPower]

I primarily plan to do a lot of dry wood spoons. Would you recommend this one over the light version? Also, I do not see any carving knives available? Thanks for all the help.

[@woodsmansfinest3814]

I always recommend the heaviest ax you can manage. most likely the Journeyman is the best allround axe. cheers

[@LarsKiel]

👌

[@abbasduman6963]

Welches Beil / Axt empfiehlst du für den ersten "Schnitzaxt" unter 100€?

[@woodsmansfinest3814]

DIY, altes Beil herrichten.

[@waldemarreczydlo3830]

Hi If you had to decide, which Carving Axe you would recommend and buy ?

[@woodsmansfinest3814]

Hey! The best and heaviest you can afford if you take it seriously. I am biased as I designed the JourneyMan, Wayfarer and Karelia based on what I like most and didn't find on the market. If I had to use one axe for the rest of my life it would be my Journeyman axe. Link to my tool line in the comments. Cheers

They forge it to my exact drawings and specifications. I've been partnering with Fadir and formerly Svarogych for 3 years now and together we've sent out over 800 tools so far.
