What is the weight of that GB head Keith?

They also make a splitting maul for large rounds but I noodle it down and pop it right open with the GB

What a beautiful axe! Hows the little one going in hospital Kieth, things looking up?

Completely free of cancer and healthy brother, thanks for the thoughts!

I'd love to give one a try Keith, wish we lived closer.

To date, the X-27 is the best Hand Held I have used.

What do they cost?

I think I remember about 165$ Mike. That x27 works really well but the GB has alil more heft and hits alil more solid plus I appreciate the handmade forged craftsmanship and beauty of it also. Should last me a lifetime

Well, I like long handles, and that is a very long handle! Maybe I'll run into one at a GTG.

Thanks for the info.

I hope the 572 runs great, but I think the MS500i, which is 80 cc, fuel injected and a full pound lighter may give it some trouble, but neither saw is out yet, so we will see.

The 462 will (on a wight basis) be able to compete with a lot of 60 cc saws.

I just wish all 3 would come to market in the US soon.

Seems 26 to 28 is the norm now in axes. I have an Oschenkopf 26" felling axe but its too short for my taste except for cleaning a fellin notch out

I wonder if one could order that GB axe in a 36" handle?

I like this post.......the bit about the GB & X27.

I used Keiths maul exstensively friday. It is hand s down tje best I have ever picked up. No sticking, no hard swings, just slap busts wood. Innocent bystandards are in danger if they dont stand a good ways back. The GB is worth every penny.

 

[RI Chevy]

They are a bit pricey. $165 vs $50 for the X27.
Plus I am a handle breaker. My father used to get very upset at me when I was younger for breaking all the handles. Lol

I think 32 is as long as they make in that splitting axe but the maul they make in 36

I'm going to be swinging by Omaha Knife this week since I'll be in town to check them out. Looks like they have a good inventory of GB right now

Ill step out and say if u spend the money on one u will agree its all around better than the x27. The handmade craftsmanship and balance is like no other

Thank you sir. [emoji106]

I think a replacement handle is about 40$ but it has the band to protect from overstrike
