Great job! I am new to carving and I am looking to buy Robin Wood axe but I’m not sure which one to choose. The small (31cm, 720gr) or the larger (35cm, 975gr). Do you think is there so much difference in weight between them? Which one do you have?
Does it have flat bevel? When you sharpening you lay it flat on the stone/puck until you close the gap between apex and stone? Also I am wondering which one to choose 720gr -31 cm version or the little bit larger one 975 gr- 35cm
I'm using the lighter one, 550gr head. The axe comes with flat over hollow bevel grind. I use the sharpening kit to sharpen and strop the axe: thespooncrank.com/product/the-sharpening-kit/ I hold the axe with one hand and I sharpen with the other, making sure to keep the bevel flat against the sharpening block.
Incredible skill from a master craftsman!
Good enough to make it look easy
Very nice!! That's a neat little carving axe. Heading over to the shop to check it out!!
How did you like it? I have one and a gransfors wildlife hatchet, I always go towards this one.
Fascinating!
Thank you!
