Is the Gransfors Bruks Wildlife Hatchet worth the jingle?
I sure hate to fork out that much for a belt hatchet. Anyone know who's got a good price on them?
I'm game, used?
Thanks in advance,
Warman

Really it's up to you if it is worth the $. If you are willing to put in some work you can refinish a vintage hatchet head and have an equally good tool for much less. YMMV
 
I bought a GB a little over a week ago and I am very pleased with it. I decided on the small forest axe as it is just a little larger than the wildlife hatchet. Here is a comparison i found on youtube.

I took some pictures of my Gransfors Bruks axes so they can serve as a comparison. I have the American Felling axe, the Scandinavian Forest Axe, the Small Forest Axe and the Wildlife Hatchet next to each other. If interested, you can have a look here: http://woodtrekker.blogspot.com/2011/04/what-is-right-size-axe-for-you.html

Not sure why anyone would do this with and axe. Maybe in a emergency situation?
