SERIOUS AXES

HERE IS THE REAL DEAL: GRANSFORDS BRUKS AXES. HAND FORGED IN SWEDEN SINCE 1902. WORTHY OF THE WALL, AS WELL AS, BELEIVE IT OR NOT SOME REAL WORK. I PICKED UP THE SMALL AXE IN THE LOCAL HARDWARE STORE ON A TRIP TO SWEDEN. IF YOU MUST, YOU CAN PAINT THE HANDLES WITH PRETTY DECORATIVE STRIPES YOURSELF.

Check out Wetterlings axes as well - very similar company and product to Gransfors - I found the pricing a bit better as well - Great site - Cheers

I assume that the painting your own stripe comment is a smack on Peter Buchanan-Smith. I think it is ridiculous spending hundreds of dollars on an axe, but no more so than buying a Rolex GMT. Even if Che wore one. Overpriced is overpriced. I do suppose the Rolex is a good investment. I am not sure if a used axe retains or increases in value after a few good swings.
