SHOW ME YOUR AXES

[ajschainsaws]

That is a beauty !

Thanks I’ve got down too P800 grit wet and dry paper on this head and it’s quite pitted but smooth there’s something about these little axes I love the square basic shape of the tomahawk

That’s interesting I was thinking about the smaller head longer handle
Saved some money there won’t /e getting any of those in

Kinda a shame as they look great and are as well made/finished as the X-series Fiskars but its head size to handle length ratio is just not that useful. I bought mine when I got an X27 for my female partner to use and its not really that good for her. The handle length makes it kinda dangerous if you were to miss. I give her a HB Hults Bruk I rescued to use instead. Here's a pic for reference.

I see what you mean not the best idea they’ve had , I see it’s on 42% discount now so it sounds like the feedback hasn’t been as good as they thought

You'd look better using one of those sexy Sweedish Axes of yours. [emoji23]

regarding our love for axes & hatchets.... I've got by at times, struggled at times at sharpening..... maybe a little to do with OCD lol but I've been striving to really get something very sharp (like a brand new GB type sharp) I just came across the KME axe sharpening kit, it came in the mail today and I've been tinkering with it. I'm already very impressed with it.
I've already made an otherwise cheap hardware store hatchet very sharp ! I know it's not the old school traditional way but....might be worth a look for you guys.

What do you think of it?? I heard it’s made for beating on Australian hardwood? Do share

 

[jakethesnake]

What’s he weigh

 

[stikine]

The five star. Just finished profiling the bit and handling. The steel is very hard and a file doesn't cut it but a belt sander is your friend!

Awesome axe for the price but they require some work as I mentioned above. 4.5 pounds.

I put a general all round profile on it as opposed to a racing profile for durability sake.
