Not bothered to search for other post mentioned - so apologies if mucking things up!
Just to say my Christmas presesnt GB Splitting Maul from my better half came from the same place. I'll confess to not having come across them before - but during her search, said BH, found three places with stock - who wanted £ Zillion to post it to an IV postcode - which is of course 8 miles past Saturn; numerous places showing one on their website, but no stock and finally these guys - who were very polite and helpful on the phone and had the maul with her at her works address two days later for less lucre than a thick christmas card.
Speak as you find says I.

I want to buy a gransfors bruks axe which one is better for me small forest axe or scandinavian forest axe ? I won't need it to cut down whole forests , I need it on winter trips maybe fell a tree or two on the way. I will have to save money for a month so I want to invest in the best option for me. can you guys help me decide ?
I looked at it and you got me thinking , well thats meter of time if I will be able to save money I will still go with gransfors
But which one small forest axe or scandinavian forest axe ?
Sorry, I thought you only wanted to cut down a small tree or two, and be able to carry it with you easily.
Yes, they make "proper" axes too.
Maybe model HY 10 would suit you?
Pleae note that they have two lines of axes, one quite similar to Gränsfors axes hand forged from Swedish steel and a cheaper range.
It depends on the importer to your country which axes you can buy.
Sweden has the full range of all tools, UK less for example.

There's nothing in my country more than turkish and russian cheap axes
So I have to order it from abroad , uk or usa
Just my own opinion but I like the Scandi as the extra length and weight make it more versatile to me. It can remove wood faster than the small fa and you can still choke it if you want.

Do you have blacksmiths in your area? They could make one for you, harden the edge and temper the rest properly.
Order from Sweden if you want a Swedish product.
The Scandi, what model is that? I can not see an axe with that name in the Hultafors Swedish catalogue.
I'd go with the scandi then, provided you don't need it to fit in a smalller pack for transport.
Aha!
I always look on the Swedish sites so the names differ!
I think you mean the one that is called Stor Skogs yxa, ( Large Forest Axe)?
With that one you can deforest Georgia including your famous vineyards in a weekend, Gcckoka!
