Axe wanted for beginner......

[Dirty Karlos]

Errr....as the title really, general purpose axe for a newbie to practise with.

Did you have a budget in mind? a cheap axe could be a false economy. I'd suggest the Gransfors Small Forest Axe as a good general purpose tool, a pleasure to own and use.

It should last you your lifetime.

£52 inc P&P from these folks...

Presumably you've read through British Red's article on 'Selecting an axe' in the edged tools section?

seconded, superb axes, and great value for money when you think of the lifetime of use you'll get out of them

or get yourself down the car booties ... you'll get a lovely old Kent pattern axe for 50p-£5 like this:

they are such lovely things and work really well!
