So, my Cegga axe came in the mail today 
I thought and share a photo compared to an GB outdoor axe because i couldn't find one.

It had some very light use, but nothing i little TLC couldn't handle.
Did buy it second hand, i was looking for one for years. Happy with it. It is slightly larger then the GB.
Oh yes. "Cegga" is Michael Cronja. Mic is a master axe Smith working for Hultafors when these were made. We got chatting about axe design on the old Outdoors forum and he offered to make my design. So we made ten and sold them on here. We did a few runs on here because people liked them. I never made any money on them preferring to let folks enjoy them - I laughed when they started trading at double or treble what we sold them for

Sadly Michael had some health issues so it's not something we continued with. Glad we did it though. I still have the axe he made for our wedding. That was a real "one of a kind"

They do appear and make me smile now and again..I saw Jon Pickett carving a spoon with one on Jane's YouTube recently
I have one of them and a smaller one cegga made for me they were cheaper than a gransfors at the time I paid less than £50 each straight to my door here in guernsey
That is beautifull!
If i knew Michael were to do another batch i'd buy it 100%Oh I know the specifications - I designed it
He was kind enough to make it as a gift for our wedding - lovely chsp
It's not likely now. I should probably stop using the stuff he made for me to feed the wood stove!

I don’t think you should, the bloke never wanted to offer you an investment opportunity, he made you a tool.He was kind enough to make it as a gift for our wedding - lovely chsp

I agree entirely, that's why all mine are users - never really been a drawer queen person!
A Stradivarius has to sound.
A Picasso has to be visible.
A knive has to cut.
Everything else is the pure nonsense,
unless the item is hundreds of years old.
