Only $250 - $550 too, bargain! (Not)
Interesting that the humble Axe is being elivated to a manly executive gift though. I suppose they are a symbol of masculine rugged activity, but I'm sure 99% of those sold by this company will never be used in anger, but rather just grace the wall of the Manhatten office or the Ski Lodge in Aspen.
Wonder if they are actually any good as tools?

Bit bizarre really, price range from $250-550 for what looks pretty much the same axe with the handle painted in different colours. I don't get it.

Strange isn't it ? All the helves and heads are identical but a stripey paint job can vary by a couple of hundred dollars ??
There's one which looks like it's actually been hand painted ($550) with some skill but all the others look like they been done with a roller. I don't get it either

I suspect it has something to do with trying to part a fool from his money

very much like this guy on ebay US with his knife.
