The standard knife grind with bevels on both sides excels at general timber work and creating joints, offering versatility for various hewing tasks. The scissor grind, with its flat right side and beveled left, creates an aggressive cutting action perfect for achieving perfectly smooth, planed surfaces on structural timbers—the flat face rides against the wood while the bevel does the cutting. Choose the reverse scissor grind if you're left-handed or prefer the flat face on the opposite side. Each grind produces different surface textures: the flat side of single-bevel grinds creates smooth surfaces for visible timbers, while the beveled side leaves a traditional scalloped pattern that adds character to rustic projects.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eErgonomic Handle Options:\u003c\/strong\u003e The handle angle selection addresses the fundamental safety challenge of broad axe work—keeping your hands clear of the timber surface. The straight handle places the blade parallel to the handle, suitable for general work where clearance isn't critical. Right-angled or left-angled options offset the blade from the handle plane, allowing your hands to remain safely away from the work surface during horizontal hewing strokes. This is particularly valuable when working on large timbers or in confined spaces where hand position is restricted. The 7.25-inch cutting edge covers substantial area with each stroke, while the 3.75-pound head weight provides the momentum for efficient cutting without excessive fatigue. Whether you're squaring logs for a traditional log house, preparing timber frame members, or creating hand-hewn beams for restoration work, this customizable broad axe delivers the exact configuration professional timber workers demand.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"GRF","offers":[{"title":"Broad Axe 4823 Right Angled-Sharpened Bevel on Right","offer_id":52508999418158,"sku":"GRF4823","price":347.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Broad Axe 4822 Right Angled-Sharpened Bevel on Left","offer_id":52508999450926,"sku":"GRF4822","price":347.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Broad Axe 4801 Straight Double-Sided Grind","offer_id":52508999483694,"sku":"GRF4801","price":328.09,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Broad Axe 4802 Straight Ground Left Side","offer_id":52508999516462,"sku":"GRF4802","price":289.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Broad Axe 4803 Straight Handle-Ground Right Side","offer_id":52508999549230,"sku":"GRF4803","price":328.09,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Broad Axe 4811 Left Angled-Double Sided Sharpened","offer_id":52508999581998,"sku":"GRF4811","price":328.09,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/pq-7.myshopify.com\/products\/granfors-broad-axe","provider":"pq","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
