pps it is small and light compared to some, so am i, i recon i could get a gig with berserkers if i showed them what it can do
as a bushcraft/forrester/domestic tool it seems ideal, the head was hudsons bay in style(good metal and well forged, but i do not know its age or origin) , i had to re grind a broken corner of the edge so it looks a bit more bavarian now and i only part removed the burrs cos they assist with splitting or abuse as a hammer when less ragged
the recent handle is swedish made, bought via the axe shop in the north east, nice stick
the head is about pound and a half, the stick is about the same mass, that gives ace balance for long or short work of any type
drop a tree, cook dinner or build a house or very grumpy viking
over a long time i have used many and had a few, this and me have developed our relationship over 2 decades
it is very functional, although i do need to fettle the edge to splitting razor
having tried a few, a 4 or 5 lb sandvik felling axe is sort of ok , but this wee thing will do that and is more convenient
huge heavy ones are not my thing, i tend to use momentum from speed rather than mass when cutting, driving or breaking stuff with a stick tool
i have a 3 and a bit lb head,old, not bad metal, daneaxe-ish in shape , it would be a good one for felling or cross cutting
i might remount that, i have no use for it but it is a nice one. |
