Just ordered my first high end axe

I'm thinking about either a widlife hatchet, carpenter's axe, or outdoor axe next. Something to keep with the "get home bag" in the truck (which has firestarting stuff, water purification stuff, emergency blankets, some emergency food stuffs, etc...just the basics that would help keep you alive for about a week or so until you got somewhere more stable or could find more food etc.). My wife calls it my "crazy bag" because she always pictures people who have these sort of bags being tinfoil paranoid conspiracy theorist people and that isn't me at all lol.

Ask and ye shall receive. Unlike normally where I'm doing stuff by mobile, eye surgery has kept me home the last few days so I've been doing nearly everything by actual computer. Thus..PICTURES!

Congrats on buying the best O.P. I have only one G. Bruks, the others are various Swedish makes. I would never try to talk a guy out of a Gransfor Bruks, but there are some decent alternatives that will not empty your wallet. Husqvarna axes are contracted out to famous Swedish makers and I believe that they are buying from Hults Bruk at this time. There is also Wetterlings who have really stepped up their game as of late in regard to quality. My point is that with a little research a guy can pick up a brand new quality Swedish axe at about half the cost of a Granfors Bruks. But that is every mans choice. And as I said, I would never steer someone away from such a high quality tool...but realize that there are quality Swedish options available.




Wetterlings new model Scandinavian. It can do some real work yet isn't huge. I really like it. You will love your G.B.
