cool i think its a good little hatchet for a cheap prize.
its a little heavy for its size, but its very solid and easy to get sharp with its thin blade.
its a nice camping hatchet

Very nice collection. Where did you find those Mustads? A Mustad is on my procurement list.

I have an urge to take steel wool and rust remover to that little one.

i found the 3 mustads in my grandparents garage when i took over their house. they have a very hard steel in their edge. they are great axes, i like them very much

hehe
its actualy not rusty, its more like a dark, thick patina thing. not forging scale.
i have thought about making it more clean/shiny but i kind of like it looking a little old

thank you
the arvika axe is great!
i had to give it a little thinner edge because it was very thick when new. but afer that, its the best axe i have ever used. i think its weight and size is just perfect

your handle looks nice, have you made it yourself, or did you buy it?
it looks a little rough

Truly, I bought it in it's "unfinished" state. I think it was intended that way for the end user to "finish" the handle to their preference.

Oh yes I see now that you're in Norway, the home of the Mustad. They are not so easy to come by here. I have some friends in Stavanger so next time I visit I will hit some garage sales or flea markets (if you have such things in Norway).

we do have some flea markets and garage sales here but not so many most of them are in the spring (april/mai) after people have their "sping clean up" i dont know if mustads are usual here or not, but its worth a try
good luck on your hunt

Nice looking axes!

lovely collection. I have a little mustad like yours and it is my baby, like it better than the GB mini. I also have a scout or wilderness sized mustad sitting around to get the handle refitted.

I really like the middle Mustad, kind of a carpenter's / carving hatchet.

All my mom's grand parents came from Norway and it is nice to have part of "The Old Country"

Thanks for posting.
