hi guys bit of a rant here so i'll appologise 1st.
I purchased a granfors small forrest axe last year at the bushcraft show, i have had problems with this axe not holding a edge and thought it must be me untill i compaired it to a new axe on the gransfors stand at this years bushcraft show. the axe head is noticably shorter on mine (about 1/2"- 1/4") and is very convex, gransfor said it looks like its been on a grinder and had been reprofiled which it definatly HAS NOT. it has only ever been sharpened with a japenese waterstone field sharpening kit ( 800 grit & 6000 grit) and not very often and i used it mainly as a spliting axe untill recently i have started carving. gransfors seemed very uninterested and have tried to pass it off saying i must have done it because it wouldnt have left there fatory looking like that. it now has to be sent back to gransfors and nordic outdoors have said it might be a few weeks before i see my axe again and they dont think anything will be done. i think this is appauling service and honestly wish i hadnt wasted my money. has anyone else had similar problems? any advice is apreciated.
