>>621379I have learned long ago that most recommendations on this board are not helpful. The problem is, if you truly want a fantastic axe, you are going to need to do some research. What does a well hung axe look like? What wood type and how does the grain of it need to run? How many pounds is necissary for certain jobs, what type of trees are you going to be either felling/limbing/or splitting and how is that going to reflect on the axe head type.
All you will get are a bunch of recommendations for axe makers on here, most of them rather useless in my opinion. Especially Gransfors... there are plenty of local forges or commercial tool makers that don't rely on Hipster cash money to fuel the over-priced addiction to mediocre axes. (They prey on people like /out quite easily because of their distinctive inability to put even 30 minutes of internet research)
