It's been a while since I was in the market for an Axe or two .... :sword:
Gransfor Bruk are pretty pricey. I can't seem to find Wetterling's like I have in the past - I'm guessing they aren't imported or distributed like they were in the past.
Where should I look for good axes that won't break the bank? I want good quality over a cheap price so, if it takes a $100 for a good axe let me know. Please recommend good on-line places to purchase as well. I'm looking for a good basic set which I think includes the following:
The one Fiskars axe I used didn't cut worth darn and was shaped more like a wedge. In the past I spent some quality time with a Wetterling 26H. Now I'm looking at property in Northern AL and Southern TN so, it's time to assess my axe and chainsaw needs in addition to what I need for mom's place in Central OK.
TIA,
Sid

- ~14 inch ~1lb handy camp axe
- ~20 inch ~1.5lb limbing axe
- ~29 inch felling axe
- splitting maul and a twisted wedge
