Just bought a husky hatchet, what a cracking tool for the money.I have a gb small forest and its great but the little husky is all the axe i'll ever need. Mind its a little rough round the gills but nowt that a wee bit of fettling wont put right. So if your in the market for a bushy axe and you're on a budget you wont do better than a husky for the money.
No connection to this company or any vendor btw........Grip

I got one 2 years ago and think it's great. It is a bit rough as you say. I had to re-edge it as the edge wasn't symmetrical and also sanded the handle down but after a bit of work it's great.

Yeah, they are great, but buy a file at the same time and give it some time on the edge to get it working better.
Then some stone sharpening.

I've got one too and completely agree with all the comments here. Haven't really touched the blade apart from touching it up with a stone. Fantastic little axe.

These are the new style people are buying -right? The older version was quite a bit smaller. Both are superb tools with great carving and splitting ability. I always pick my Huskie over my GBs.
