Well it turned up - here it is
I thought I would post a quick review in case anyone is thinking of getting one.
I would describe it as okay, but not great! The head is quite a bit bigger than I thought (about 2 lbs) so heavier than a GB of the same size. Its well fitted to an 18" hickory handle, but finished in nasty blue paint that wants sanding off IMHO and replacing with black enamel or just plain steel. The handle isn't bad, it has a small nick near the heel but thats just cosmetic.
Its a middle sized axe - around half sized, but for the wieght of head, I'd be tempted to fit a 6" longer handle when I 've damaged this one (which I'll do sooner or later). That would balance it beautifully for me as a 3/4 axe (my scandy head is the same weight as a SFA and needs half a pound more like this one).
So, its workable now (better for splitting than cutting given the weight IMHO), but could be improved. I've chucked in one more picture for scale - full size (3lb) felling axe at the bottom, from left, 1 1/4lb hatchet, Roselli All round (long) - 18" handle, Riflemans Tomahawk This Swedish job, Scandinavain Forest axe.
Hope that helps anyone toying with one
RB, let me know if the covers are cheap and cheerful - I doubt I'll spend a fortune on this one!
