Swedish Army axe

[TemplarRA]

Good evening all,

Do any of you have any experience with the issued Swedish Army axe, I'm looking to purchase one I understand it's luck of the draw to an extent regards grade but happy to refurbish.

Regards,

I used them while in the Army. Did the job. The green painted handle was a bit slippery when your hands got sweaty.

But do not hesitate to buy one. It is easy to sand down the green paint, or replace the handle in worst case.
