instead of being ripped by that [edited by admin] try something well used and loved.

I have a Hans Karlsson adze, lovely tool to use, very comfortable to use for long periods of time and keeps a superb edge.

I really shouldn't have clicked that link.

It isn't as nice as the tools linked so far, but here's mine, and I only paid £25 for it.

i remember the thread when you put it up,,..

i also remember being a little envious of such a good find,..

hows it sharpened up? you made owt good with it yet?

 

[Harvestman]

My sharpening skills are not the best, and so far all I've discovered is that it isn't the best on seasoned wood. I've yet to try it on greenwood, which is where I think it will do well. To be honest, it hasn't had a lot of use, but that's down to me, not the tool. I think it is superb value for the price. The steel is certainly very good.

Lots more of them where I got then though, especially if you are prepared to add your own handle. If you give them a ring during their opening hours, I would imagine something could be arranged.

+ 1. These are very good and the link takes you to a fair price. All the top Adzes are dear if hand made and Swedish, but they really up the speed and work straight out of the box.
If you can hang on till an old one that suits pops up though, go for it, but they are hard to find and don't always work as well. Timeless tools are at Elvaston Castle woodland festival next weekend so I'll be having a good butchers around for toolage.

Silverhill's your man for adze's.

I think he said he was doing a new batch soon?

 

[Harvestman]

I have to say that if I could afford it I would get a quality adze too, and keep my cheap one for roughing work.

 

[resnikov]

Would love a adze, but for me they are way to pricey Just going to keep scouting the car boot sales, might get lucky one day

Push it,,, PUSH IT!

See the elbow Adze at the bottom? Nick will sell you a blade for one at a vastly reduced price to the full thing. Then you make your own handle for it. Job done. A couple of months ago he quoted me - Adze blade is £15-00 plus P&P

Too good to resist. Thanks for that link.

Goan you know you want to.

 

[Thetillerman71]

Think you could probably get a maker on here to supply one of the same or better build quality for less than that price
