Sheffield made hand forged adzes by Henry Taylor for single handed use.This one is a tight gouge (sweep 9), however this lucky fella is outcannel which makes it a Bowl Adze.
At the other end to the cutting edge is a square faced hammer poll.
All Henry Taylor adzes have an ash handle of 250mm (about 10") .
The overall head size (from the square face of the hammer poll to the cutting edge) is 175mm (about 7")
Weight is 0.91 kgs which is 2lbs in old money.
A nicely balanced product - well done Henry Taylor Tools, you are almost as good as Timothy Taylor who also make very finely balanced products - Timothy Taylor Landlord & Timothy Taylor Boltmaker beers!

"Really this is a great bowl adze, especially for the price. Once you have the angle in your muscle memory it goes from good to really good! I already had a straight blade HT adze so I was not surprised at the quality of the steel, it holds an edge really well, none of my HT adzes have ever chipped.
I found the handle slippery with a protective finish (as with my other HT adze), it made it uncomfortable and tiring to use causing a blister! So I sanded it (but not too smooth), and took the handle width in a little, and boom, perfect. No blister, a good grip (important with an adze!) and all day comfort.A coating of linseed or walnut oil and job done.
Had for over a year and bought from classic hand tools. They have always been a great company to buy from, so if you need an adze and the price is right, I recommend it and them! Basically I am never selling it, don’t wait for mine to come up on an auction site! "
