Someone had a photo of a new prototype Ghillie or Kelly, can´t find it. Can we get it here, the photo that is. That one looked quite interesting, I remember.

For me personally this garment here is an anorak.
Reason why I like Fiskars (have two axes; X5 and X7) is that I don´t use the very often and therefore do not want to spend over 100 euros for a traditional wood handled axe. Fiskars are more affordable.
I have a Gränsfors small forest axe that I bought in my stupidity some years ago but that...
