Adapted from a standard carpenter adze sometime around the middle of the 20th century, the Track Adze (also known as a railroad adze) has a longer “bit” end intended to help protect the handle from breaking in use. Track adzes are most commonly used for shaping railroad ties and bridge timbers.
The Warwood Track Adze weighs 6 lbs. and is not only longer than our Carpenter Adze but also narrower, with a rounded 4” cutting edge. Like the Carpenter Adze, the Track Adze is swung downward with two hands toward a workpiece positioned between the user’s feet. The Track Adze is built to the latest revision of AREMA Plan #12.
Like all Warwood tools, it is hand-forged in Wheeling, WV, from premium American steel by hardworking Americans.

what people are saying
“Been using this tool for chopping, hoeing and removing turf, works great, the heavy duty leather sheaths will keep the blades sharp while not being used and also for safety.”
“As of this moment, the shipping was fast, packing was very good, and the axe seems to be of excellent quality. Axe head was hung well. It costs more, but once again it seems the right move.”
“The BEST American-made high quality tool! Warwood Tools will always be our #1 choice for tools such as these. Would buy this item again!”
