![]() ![]() Obviously those are a bit higher in price and hence the struggle to find a quality tool at a reasonable price in Aus. Others I have looked and and considered are:Ĭouncil Tool Dayton (premium american) felling 36" handle, 1.8kg (4lb) head ~$330,Ĭouncil Tool Velvicut bad axe 1.02kg (2.25 lb) head, 28" handle ~$265ĭedicated splitter - Fiskars x27 - $128 (Bunnings) Well-priced (a lot of decent axes are quite expensive here in Aus as opposed to the UK or Amurika!), decent weight, good reviews etc. I will be giving it a go, and if I like it I will keep it, if not I might move it on. I have purchased a Hultafors Yankee Felling Axe 1.5kg for $160, and it is on its way in the post to me. Let me know if you know where I can get one to fit.Īnyways, I am looking for a good large axe with a 28-32" handle that is a good all-rounder, particularly focused on felling and splitting larger logs. However the handle is now done from too many overstrikes and I can't seem to find another good 600-700mm hardwood handle to refit it that fits the overly-large-for-its-weight 62x22mm eye. Decent and nostalgic but not impressive by any means. I have been using a vintage Elwell slim line 1 axe head that's about 100 years old (passed down from my great grandfather), which weighs about 1kg on a 600mm spotted gum handle, and have been getting by with that the last few years. Whether it was felling, or splitting large logs (the 35" was pretty good with this), they just never felt like it was the right tool for the job I was giving it. We have a ton of big hardwood trees in Aus, and I always found the GB's (even the 35" American Felling Axe) to be not quite up to the task of making light work of our hard timbers over here. Probably because that's what the forests of Sweden are mostly made up of haha! The edges come quite sharp but the head weight always seemed to be a bit light for the handle length to me. The thing that I found though was that the GB's seem to be strongly designed towards light work, light/medium splitting and softwoods. Don't get me wrong, they are amazingly made pieces of axe art! And anyone that likes axes should have at least 1 GB pass through their hands. Particularly Gransfors Bruks axes of which I have had all sizes, but at this risk of offending all the GB fans, none of them really seemed to hit it for me.
