I just got myself a Gränsfors Bruks Small Forest Axe. Getting out to the woods tomorrow, finally, for the first time in months! And there's snow!

Lucky Meat!
Pix of the GB-SFA!
Chopping comparisons with your biggest BK's too, please. :)

Thank you! I noticed you're quite the axe guy (while I browsed the Axe, Hawk and Hatchet forum), you certainly seem to know your stuff!

I'll get some pics for sure, but in all honesty, a chopping contest between a BK-9 and the SFA would be a little unfair, wouldn't it?

I still NEED to get my hands on a real full size 3lbs American felling axe. Not an easy task here in Germany.
 
Id like to make a motion that all contest winners be located in the states ;)
 
I want someone to post a video chop off with the bk9 and Todds M-18! Dont be scared......

I reserved my M-18 already and i have a bk9 and you can bet once i receive the M-18 i will compare them against each other chopping!

hahaha, naw, I'm just a recent obsessor.
I'm reaching the double-digit limit.
Sure, SFA vs. BK-9 might be 'unfair', but the point would be to see how much of a difference there is.
It's not about win or lose, but rather about information.
 
SFA seems nice. I just don't know if I'd get enough use out of one to buy it.

I'll even pay for the shipping, you cheapskates.

Not much of a comparison, I'm afraid.....

Hey, I was born and raised in a formerly US occupied area of Berlin. That's gotta count for something, right?

25 years ago, you could've sent the prizes to me via APO! :D
 
Wow Moosey. I forgot what #2 looked like. I know what you gonna say. There all the same. Well that's true. But me being the maker I know every little subtle difference and every little tweek I made on each one to make the next one a little better. (At least try anyway) I can see tiny differences on yours. Have you got any woods time with it?
 
All that M-18 sexehness and so little money, well if I win the lotto a lot of custom knife makers on here are going to get a considerable portion of it

Edit: of course after purchasing at least two of the buy-able Becker lineup... :D

Ah..... thanks.........but, this is Ethans house WW...........the bk9 is my favorite Becker knife. It is second to none for what it is. I've seen some amazing things done with one that was nothing short of inspiring as far as a knifemaker goes. Having said that. The M-18 is a whole new animal. You see when you get yours what I'm talking about. Its really in a different catagory than the 9 so I feel it (the 9) would be at a unfair disadvantage, and the very last thing I would ever want to do is discredit Ethan, or the bk9. Because they both kick ass. I don't wish to be compared or compete with either.
