Ox-Head OX350B0850 Flat Carpenters Adze Head and Handle Review

The Ox-head adze I received was not usable at all as delivered. The eye was not properly finished - there was a pronounced ridge that kept the handle from seating. The head would bounce two or three inches up the handle at every blow, which is impossible to work with. I've worked hours on this one to correct the eye taper and fit the handle to the eye. The adze is now usable but nobody should have to go through that on a $100 tool. My impression with the steel is it's on the soft side but still hard enough to do a fair amount of work between sharpenings. Ox-head puts on a very blunt angle edge, divided about 20 percent on the bottom and 80 percent on the top. This forces a very steep chop angle, and the bite is not good either. I quickly fixed that with a file so I don't think of it as a defect. The handle is so-so. It has a nice shape but seems soft for hickory. But it has been taking a lot or work filing it to shape, so maybe its tough. The handle came completely unfinished and the surface is furry, like it came direct from the turning machine. Overall I'm disappointed in the tool, but I'm a fixer (a one percenter even) so in the end it will be made right.
