Righto i might be getting a fair bit of insurance money soon so i'm thinking about an axe.
I don't really have need for one but i'm sure once i have one it'll open up a world of possibilities.
The things i'd like to use it for is splitting logs, chopping up to 2 ft diameter trees, chopping fire wood. I'd also need it to fit inside a medium sized pack.
Gransfor Bruks seem to be the standard and i like the fact there swedish as i can trust the steel. The sfa axe is usually recomended as is the wildlife hatchet but i'm not sure whats best for what i wan't it for.
I like the kind of old style look of them and if taken care of they should last a lifetime.
GB isn't the only one on the market though.
Any recommendations appreciated.
