Hello my fellow Bushers!
I have just ordered a Hultafors H008SV Trekking Axe from ebay. I collect evoucher from doing surveys on Valued Opinions. Having gained a ten pound Amazon voucher from them, and, as Amazon have these for about £20 (£3 p&p) I have got this for £13. I am wondering if these are any good.
This is my first axe and wanted one that would stay with me for a long time.
Does anyone have experience with this make, or axe use in general and can advised on what I should have bought!
I looked at Gransfors Bruks, and their huge prices ( I do not dispute that they are the Rolls Royce of the axe world) dissuaded my. That and that I am on benefits (Anyone got a job?!) lead me to my choice.
I like big knives and bladed items, having already a Condor Village Parang, that my 9yo daughter loves. After taking her out at the weekend to set up my dpm basha, she now is after her own knife. This leads me to my second query.
What knife do I get her. She wants a Victorinox, but I want her to have a fixed blade. Just think they are safer as they do not fold. I had the tip on my thumb nearly lopped off by closing one and it slipping!
I love this site and know that I am going to get good and critical advice.
