Fehrman double bit

[crossada]

Fehrman has a new ax out that reminds me of a "tactical nessmuk". i've always liked the double bit by Lee Reeves but didn't want to put in the wait time to get one. i'm curious as to what you guys think of it. do you think it will be a good alternative to the Reeves without the wait time? i'm sure it is built tough. hopefully they will be for sale soon so someone can get it and do up a review for us

The Marbles Hunters Axe seems to be about the same size:

I was looking at those a few months ago so I checked out what the Axe, Tomahawk, & Hatchet Forum had to say about them. The reviews were far from glowing, there seemed to be a lot of problems with the head flying off.

Wow, that's a pretty impressive problem for such a respected name as Marbles. I had no idea; just noticed that it was a similar pattern.

I also read that the Chinese-made Marbles were somewhat softer steel.

That Fehrman looks hot but I wish it had another few inches of grip length.

That looks pretty cool. The edges look a bit steep though.

I LOVE the Fehrman. Now how would one explain that to a forest ranger if it came to it?
