You don't have to drop a ton of cash to make great work. Just make sure you get it razor sharp, as this will make carving safer and more fun. If you're looking to get into spoon carving, any hatchet will work. I feel that you'd be better off mastering the tool you have and keep the number of edges you have to sharpen to a minimum. Just to reiterate, the gains to be had aren't substantial. That said, if you have the 700g Karlsson and you add the 1kg (2.2lb) Gransfors, that might make larger carving projects (like bowls) go quicker. I own the Karlsson and the Little Viking and have tried the Gransfors Bruks Large Carving Axe several times and I feel that if you have one, you probably won't gain much from owning any of the others. Add 1.

The shape of the head feels like a scaled down Little Viking: 40mm shorter and 100 grams lighter. It didn't take long to get used to it, and it wastes wood excellently. But it just wasn't the axe I was used to. It was a great chance to get some fantastic tools for my carving classes and the Karlsson is a fantastic axe. I added the Karlsson because I had the opportunity to get several of them at a discounted rate. I know exactly where it starts and stops, it's weight and heft are familiar and there's not much carving it can't do. Three years of work with that axe and it's become an extension of my body. I added the Little Viking because I wanted to try bowls and the longer edge and heavier head helps with that kind of work. The first axe I bought was the Gransfors Bruks Wildlife Hatchet back in 2009 when I first started carving. To be honest I wouldn't really recommend getting more than one dedicated carving axe. I've had that axe for three years and have carved hundreds of spoons and dozens of bowls with it. I've been using the Hans Karlsson axe, alongside my main carving axe, the Svante Djarv Little Viking axe, for a couple of months now. ![]()
