But "le hand forged" offers no advantage over a hot-pressed axe head. If anything machine forgings will be much more consistent in quality.
Would imagine that their handles (the quality of which is just as important as the axe head) beat husqvarna's simply because they're not absurdly oversized. That's always been my biggest complaint about husqvarna axes - the handles are just too goddamn fat. Makes your hands hurt unless you trim them down.
