>>2515202No, you could offer such a warranty easily knowing that most buyers will never put them through their paces, and the scale of production lowers the cost of each individual axe so far below the sale value that they can afford to give many away due to the low expense.
Gransfors warranty is far more impressive, due to their small scale of production and the high cost of each individual axe as they pay their workers decently. BUT, they also produce so few actual working axes, such as their american felling axe, that the warranties will never really be used. Small forest axe is only used for shaving sticks, cutting up flowers, showing off to your hipster friends, or other "bushcraft" faggotry so its never in danger of getting a warranty claim on it.
I'm sure all of these are great for you because you're not paying out the ass for them. Same way that ochsenkopf axes are affordable hardware store axes in Europe, but close to 200 dollars in the USA. In the USA, a collins is a beater axe, and a council tool is a nice axe on the level of the high end euro ones. People here actually use their axes and the target demographic for council tool axes didn't care for fancy engraved heirloom velvicut to match gransfors, so they were discontinued.
