>>982882I've always wanted one of those, but never seen them for sale outside Finland.
>>981708Went over to the store and got this today.
They had two left. Both were decent but neither perfect.
The handles are roughly finished, and then varnished so they will need to be smoothed down and oiled.
The grind is correct. Much better than snything else at the hardware store.
The edge just needs finishing.
On one side of the bit, the cutting edge is almost straight, whilst the opposite end has a curve. Not sure if this is a trait of the pattern or just on the Truper model.
Both store models had it.
The handle isn't very long, but it goes with the weight of the head. If I rest the butt under my arm I can palm the head easily.
Can be used both one and two handed.
Does anyone else still make a double bit?
They also had pic related - in sizes up to 4 1/2 lbs.
I should have bought one too, but I wasn't sure of the blister causing rubber device on the handle.
And, at that point I had wasted almost 3 hours comparing axes, tape measures and paintbrushes.
