Inspired by traditional hand tools but designed for the modern craftsman, the Barebones Workman Collection pairs heirloom-level materials with forward-thinking modularity. Featuring a solid hickory handle and precision-machined 65Mn high-carbon steel head that can be easily swapped, replaced, or maintained with a few turns of a wrench. Each strike and swing is backed by deliberate engineering—simple, strong, and built to last. 

A tool of precision and heritage, the Workman Adz excels at controlled material removal. Its broad curve and extended reach make it a versatile tool for woodworking, trail shaping, weeding, clearing roots, and more.

Victoria ★★★★★

The hickory handle has a warmth and grain you just don’t feel on modern fiberglass options, makes it easy to grip even after a long day. Swapping the head out took me under a minute with the modular setup, and it’s already earned a permanent spot in my workshop.

Evelyn I. ★★★★★

The hickory handle feels incredible in hand, solid and warm, and the head is perfectly balanced for a day of shaping beams. I grabbed it for a timber-framing job and it took a serious edge right out of the box. Honestly, this is the adze I’ve been hunting for years.

Kevin ★★★★★

This thing is built like a tank, yet somehow the hickory handle has a warmth that makes it feel less like a tool and more like an heirloom. I've already used it on two rough timber projects, and the modularity actually comes in handy when I need to swap tasks.
