Do you use a full body swing or a deft quick flick of the wrist to dice `n` slice :eek:):

How do you chop yours.. ?

Possibly good axe (never tried one), haven't tried that beer, but the lemon is great!

Why is the GB Mini more expensive than the other by GB, when it's smaller?? :?: :roll:

I havn't found that the case over here, but it could be because the mini is only made by 1 man... its his pet project at GB, so I guess relativly fewer are made... Its an excellent tool BTW

Good axe, bad beer :lol:
Very true ,the pic was for a friend in the US who loves the stuff but i reckon it tastes like :censored:
I'm more of a Guinness man.
If I'm feeling sophisticated i drop a pickled onion in the black stuff.
Pure class :lol:

My Gb mini cost £40. cheap at twice the price. i love it. it is permanently attached to my day sac. it goes everywhere with me. i am constantly looking for an excuse to use it. far more chopping power than you would expect from such a small tool.

apparently it's much harder to produce such a tiny axe head with a relatively eye for the helve, than it is to produce a normal size hatchet with a normal size eye.

cheers, and.

I think that lemon may be past its "sell by date"....
