axe comparison question

I love a good hatchet or axe. The husqvarna's are made by Wetterling, but they have a different geometry. They are thinner than the Wetterlings. More like a GB IMO. Here I am harvesting some fatwood with my Wetterling large hunter.

Here is a pic of my 12" polished Husqvarna. Sharp as you could want.

Some of my favorite choppers.

This is a pic of the mini Wetterling and the 12" husqvarna. Same weight bit.

Here you can see the different geometry. Husqvarna is on the right, and has a much thinner geometry.

I prefer the Husqvarna. It has had no edge issues and chops significantly better. It's about the same price as the Wetterling. The fit and finish has improved since GB bought Wetterling. They are all made from the same steel and have the same RC.
