Cheers for the heads-up Martin

A pal of mine was looking for something cheap for stuff at home, I'll let him know.

These are great little axes and at that price an absolute bargain. I have just asked a mate to pick me 5 up. I would advise only buy if either you are looking for a cheap kindling splitter, or if you have a grinder or good file and know how to create new bevels.

They come very blunt and rounded at the edge which is perfect for kindling splitting but if you file away a lot of metal to create a nice 25-30 degree beveled edge and then go down through the grits with emery paper, wetstones or whatever you use then you end up with a really very good carving axe for £3.

 

[HillBill]

I agree with Robin. They are good steel and hold a good edge once you put one on . The head is a good weight and the handle fills the hand well.

 

[Lupis]

Thanks for the heads up. I've just reserved one to pick up tomorrow. Never really used an axe before, used a saw for most purposes I need, but I figure for £3 it's a good way to learn something new. Guess I better start reading up on axe care/usage now... oh and first aid too.

Pah. I'm off to South Wales tmorrow and have tried reserving one in most stores en route with no success.

Must be a lot of bushcrafters out there !

[deenewcastle]

I got one reserved locally

 

[Wallenstein]

Managed to reserve once near my in-laws but won't be there till Tuesday. Hoping I'll be able to re-reserve a couple of times without anyone poaching it until I can get there!

 

[gsfgaz]

I got one today , it was the last one in my area .... Bargain or what

 

[alecf]

I checked all stores within 30 miles of me and none of them have one in stock :/

Im not paying £5 to have it delivered either.

 

[warthog1981]

If none of your local stores has them in stock you can order one online and pick it up from your store when it comes in
That's what Ive done it doesn't cost you anything to order it

cheers Russ

Reserved the last one in Northampton thanks for the heads up!

 

[JDO330]

I tried to get one and all 5 of my most local stores are out of stock. Probably not a bad thing as I dont really "need" one!

ATB, Jon.

 

[Hugo]

Just ordered myself another one from a different store in Worthing to pick up today.
Ain't I lucky, or should that be greedy.
