SHOW ME YOUR AXES

[ARPILOT]

That looks just like the stihl one i just got ,ws looking at the Stihl premium one made by Oxhsenkopf rebranded stihl ,what i went in to get in the first place ,but after holding it i actually liked the cheaper one better for feel ,handle was too bulky and balance was off for me ,Too many to pick from wanted them all ,settled on 4 ,a pickeroon made by Peavey ,a splitting mall made by Council ,and 2 stihl axes ,i almost grabbed the 4 lb council felling axe ,but as much as i would use it i can use the stihl one for pounding wedges ,i really like the feel of the hatchet also ,has good balance .I was set on the higher end axes when went to the saw shop ,glad i went in instead of buying online ,they were actually cheaper there .The higher end ones did not feel comfortable to me for some reason .View attachment 90069 View attachment 90070 View attachment 90071

I have that little Stihl hatchet as well, really like it. It was nice and sharp new and actually surprised myself when i had to resharpen it, came out real nice.

Nice lot of axes you scored today that stihl and Dolmar axe are the same
Dolmars top priced axes are oschenkopf
That council maul looks a nice tool

Any idea who made the axe head on the right

Looks near identicle to my PLUMB Tasmanian...... Not the best pic, bit me likely the 'phantom bevels' or whatever they are.

I think the stihl one is more orange where the dolmar looks red ,the stihl only has 1 metal plug on top also vs 2,the hook shape on the bottom is a little different also ,pretty nice axe for 40 bucks i thought .
