So as all of you know I live in Georgia and I am the first and only "bushcrafter" that said all of the gear I have to order from abroad and have to pay 3-4 times more because of money value difference and shipping costs, as any woodsman's dream I was dreaming of an axe , all I had was the husqvarna hatchet which I bought after saving for a few months. the husqvarna shop was in Georgia and I hand picked it and bought it but they went bankrupt (Duh who would buy axes) I bought it because that was the only axe they had. so for more than 2 years I was dreaming for a proper axe , I especially saw that I needed it this winter when I went snow camping for a few times. So I knew I wouldn't afford one of those Swedish beauties for a long long time ! And boom awesome folks at hultafors were happy to sponsor me with one !!!!!!!! so after 2 months of waiting , after it shipped from Sweden to UK from UK to Georgia and after waiting for 10 days for the customs to check it and to give them an invoice at last I have it ! It is absolutely perfect with the amount of research I did in axes over this years , how to chose a proper one , mine has A+ in all categories , the blade is simetrical , polished shaving sharp , it is hung properly with all sides snug, the grain is el perfecto and plus all of that the color is badass ! I'm over the sky guys I really didn't thought I would have one in close year or two but dreams DO COME TRUE ! :cool::eek:
The hultafors side are awesome they also sent me one of their knifes (OK 4) which I can't say about the Georgian side , the hultafors tape was cut with the box also cut by the customs and those ******** nicked the axe , this perfect edge has a nick , so what should I do , use my 1000grit arkansas stone ? :confused:
How do you like it ? Can't wait to take it out tomorrow and film it :)

Can't wait to make a collar as soon as I get back in the city and a mask because this axe deserves it for sure , I will put all my skill in it to make the best I can

Nice one.. Your 1000grit stone should take that out. I would probably use something a little coarser just to do it faster, but the 1000 will do with a little patience. Sadly, this stuff happens to axe edges. Bits of grit get into bark or the cut ends of logs and can dink up an edge every once in a while. I like using fine sandpaper for my axe sharpening, 240 and 400 grit before hitting the 1000g and a strop.
