>>915182Save half of the money and buy a Hultafors like anon said here
>>901418When it's about tools, I think like this:
When I buy this one axe for 100$, will it last longer than 5x 20$ Axes?
In this case you have nearly the exact same product and pay double the price for the shinier one.
Gransförs Bruks was nearly bankrupt until they got a new owner who was very adept in doing marketing. The stamps on the axe heads aren't a tradition you know? They sold ugly, signal colored axes just like Stihl sells them. That little company naturally couldn't compete with such a giant.
The new owner turned over to that classic style and boom.
Gransförs Bruks sells a feeling of traditionality in the first place, the practicality comes second. (Their axes still kick ass of cause)
If you want it for the aesthetics though go for it, they even got a design price. The wildlife hatchet is sexy af.
