Yeah, Gransfors Bruk small forest axe. I dont want to, but does it justify a return?today i just broke one axe haft on a 3,1/2 phantom bevelled head. i am responsable for that!
i made the billet and then the hafts. some time back another one from the same batch broke right under the eye. just the same with no apparent ,obvious flaw. it was something in the wood eyes can't see . or bad drying , what else what ever...
the flaw of yours is obvious but maybe not so serious. i guess this is more a run out than a real knot as i think the knot has been removed.
is your axe a gb?
