Not necessarily Bushcraft related but thought might be of interest.
Got my Gransfors Large Splitting Axe from Woodland Organics (very nice to do business with) last week. It is extremely well made and I had immense fun using it over the weekend. It seems very light compared to the maul I've been using and as we burn a lot of logs that is a big plus. The balance is spot on and even good for one handed swinging. To aid this the end of the shaft is slightly ‘textured.’
Sharp? It seems like the two halves of the log are leaping out of the way of the axe head! If you have a wood burner then I would highly recommend this piece.
This is my first Gransfors, but unlikely to be my last! I already have my eye on the Wildlife Hatchet...
Regards,
Hellz
