Not once did I see him swing a hammer, or light his pipe off a red hot axe head. LOL. GB makes a very fine axe, but I would much rather have one of those semi- hand forged Pioneer axes shown being made in the video if available today.

I got a chance to look at all the Gransfors axes in Ely the other day , they are nice! I really like the hewing axe, and the price is not out of line, really.
The Wetterlings, Les Stroud axe, looks to be a great design, it would be a good trapline axe, better design than a Hudson's bay. The weak point on a Hudson's bay pattern is the small eye, if you don't have a very good handle, it could easily get loose in the small eye. The Les Stroud pattern has a lengthened eye, reminiscent of a finnish axe, making for a strong connection between the wood and steel.
It looks like and oversized carpenters hatchet, it would be very useful, it has some good features.

This old Billnas Finnish axe, with a new handle is on Ebay right now, it would be a very good axe.

But the shipping from Finland is a killer

Picked up this Norlund "saddle cruiser" today. I haven't weighed it yet, but it has to be less than 1.5 lbs.

nice axe love old axe,s have 1 or 2 my self. have 1 double bit. hand forged in good shape

That is pretty cool,oneoldboot. I am wondering if this small head isn't off of one of their double bit hatchet's?
I have one with a a similar head.
Compare...what do you think?

Getting the axe/hatchet sickness bad here. Lol Bought an axe today will get pics in a day or so. It's cool. Here's a plumb claw back and a craftsman.

Picked up this cool axe finally.

Almost done with this one. Gotta add some leather an make a leather sheath for it.

Any site that buys, sells, and trades axes and hatchets? I have a few that I don't need to hold on to.

I had a axe problem and you all are bringing it back! I will be hitting the sales tomorrow and I hope I find a few.

Pm me pics, I'd be interested.

If you do facebook, checkout "Axejunkies." There is buying and selling going on there.

Ive got a bunch of axe forging pics from our shop if you guys would like to see any.. We make a lot of axes and hawks..

I'd like to see the pics, KYBOY!
