My Axes :)

[warthog1981]

I recently got a Gransfors Bruks American Felling Axe in a trade
The first thing I did was make it a nice new Heavy duty leather sheath as I always think the ones that come with them are a little flimsy.
Then I had the bright idea to do a family picture of all my axes

Cheers Russ

Wow! Nice collection of shiny sharps there!

That's a fantastic collection you've got there, I too have the Kubben and I love it to pieces, probably because its my first and only axe, but I find its great for things that the mora can't quite handle. And I agree with you about the sheaths, I'm waiting for mine to give in and end in injury lol

You rabid axe fetishist you! Lovely collection and nice job on the sheaths. I do so love the Viking style GB axe you have there, Russ.

Nice collection! I really like the rustic Norse hawk, what make is it?

 

[HillBill]

Hmm, you were holding out on me Russ

Nice set of tools though mate. Is the one with the black paint a re profiled and rehandled Argos axe?

Lovely sheaths aswell

No such thing as too many axes then? Of course not!!!

WOW fantastic collection, thanks for sharing. I recently got my first proper axe, a Small Forest Axe. Love it! Already thinking about getting another one, I quite like the American patterns!

 

[warthog1981]

Thanks I think ive got enough now

 

[Shewie]

Very nice Russ, you can never have too many axes

 

[Deck]

Cracking collection there mate. Which one gets the most use?

 

[British Red]

Oh be fair Russ, you are feeling the lack of a nice double bit working axe surely?

Great collection - I know how you feel - been whittling down my collection of late...but its difficult!

 

[warthog1981]

Deck My small forest axe used to be my go to axe and its been used alot but the one I always tend to pack tow is a Bahco axe its the bottom one in this picture

Brittish Red Ive had the Gransfors double bit axe but I never seemed right for me
I think the American Felling axe ticks all the right boxes for me now

 

[British Red]

Strange that - my Double Bit sees the most work of all mine (keeping the stove fed!). All comes down to taste I guess

 

[warthog1981]

It was a lovely axe just not for me
