This is on it's way to me in the mail.
Yes, I have previously bought garage sale axes and heads and restored them. Yes, I have bought cheap axes and reprofiled them over the course of hours until they are useable. I just wanted something nice that will be useable straight away for once.
I'll go straight back to re-mounting $5 plumb heads after this, but in the meantime, what do you guys think? Primarily hardwood in Australia, so this is about as Scandinavian as it gets without having your axe stuck in a tree forever.
It was a toss up between this and the Ray Mears wilderness axe (I like heavy heads and thin handles).
