Hi there,
Just started my journey in axe, i'm about go hiking & camping this weekend, 1 night + 1 day.
While exploring this forum's post & internet, I wanted to ask following quick questions to know any good recommendation?
Checked online, seems following brands / models are good?
- Gränsfors Bruk Sweden - small forest,
- Beavercraft Woodcraft Bushcraft Splitting Hatchet
wanted to ask: are following brand also considered as good? Husqvarna, Karesuando
any other recommendations?
What specs, features need to consider and check as a good outdoor hiking knife?
Please be noted, this time, a small to medium size is better, can bundled in my Gregory Z35 backpack's ice axe loops.
appreciate your inputs
Update: 08-JUN
Now I am choosing between Hultafors: Ekelund (841710?) vs. Gransfors Bruk: Small Forest.
Any idea?
Any similar product from Husqvarna or any other brand?
(Seems Hultafors Ekelund is same to Hults Bruk Aneby, and 841710 is the product ID?)
Update: 13-JUN
Thanks bros, here is my final choice brings me into Axe.
