Manufactured by ΛdiThiel – the ArchaeoSmith

***

I am Adam Thiele, Ph.D. Besides my scientific activity I have been working as a smith since 1998. I use ΛdiThiel as a brand name for my products. The name the ArchaeoSmith explains my main activity.
This light axe can be used for fine woodworking, carving and cutting. It has a very ergonomic shape, slightly curved handle and there is enough room for the hand between the handle and the lower beard of the blade so the axe can also be used similar to a carving knife. It has a hard and almost razor sharp blade with a low, ca 15° cutting edge. The handle is carved of dogwood which is the best woodtype for short handled tools, eg. axes, hammers, etc. The head is riveted very safe on the handle with the back beard of the eye. This small axe can also be used as a kitchen axe for cutting and slicing vegetables and fruits.
