I have heard Gransfors Bruks are very good axes. I want something to replace my large all metal Estwing. You dont have to worry about breaking the handle but it wont hold an edge(axe) worth a you know what. I want one about the same size or a little bigger. Would the Gransfors Bruks Scandinavian Forest Axe be about right? Any other suggestions for a good moderately priced axe?

Yes, that is a fairly large axe though, what are you using it for.

It would be a camp axe. To go in the camper. Splitting wood for campfire. We usually buy bundled wood at a store. It can be anything from soft to hard,knotty,dry, to moist. Sometimes I find cut wood that the Estwing cant begin to handle. I do not need a hatchet. I have a BK+T BK9 for making kindling. Mabey I need the one of the larger GB. What is it called,American Felling Axe or something.
