The Woodland Axe

I visited Robin Wood of WoodTools as he finished a batch of Woodland Axes at their workshop in Sheffield. Having used the prototype which Robin gave me several years ago I was excited to see the changes he and JoJo had made to the design to refine the axe. I wasn't disappointed.

Although a year ago, good to see, glad i came across this video.
Robin said in the film he was proud of his axe, and so he should be.
I having just gotten into wood carving, a short while ago, i bought from Robin, Wood Tools a carving axe and just like in the film the blade for so so sharp i was amazed at just how sharp it was, I have never seen an edge like this before absolutely awesome.
I have also now got a compound curve spoon knife, well i will have on the 16th Feb Birthday present from my good lady, can't wait.
Absolutely fantastic tools to have and proud to own them.
Top craftsmanship from Robin and his team thank you.
Very well packaged as well very secure indeed.

Great video thanks. Lovely to see the axes being prepared and design explained. I recently received the woodland axe and it is superb. The handle is not too thick, wields well, with a heavy enough head to cut deep. I really liked the bushcraft axe but it was stolen. The woodland axe feels even better - I prefer the thinner shoulder. What a brilliant tool.

Where is your forge? Rhineland pattern. The steel wedge splits the top of the handle because the grain is wrong. The wedge splits the grain because it runs in the same direction. This style of axe has been around a long time.

You'd have to ask woodtools I'm afraid, I don't know where the forge is.

Hollow grind? Grain is wrong. Husqvarna axes cheaper and far better!
