I need some help.
A while back I found an awesome thread comparing these two blades.
The review was well written and contained some really nice pics.
I can't remember if it was here or on Knifeforums so I find myself leaning on you good people for help and guidance.
If you could lead me in the right direction and/or provide me a link I would be most appreciative. :D
With much thanks in advance.

I like the losing comments about how the swedish axes would have done a better job at a fraction of the price...

I tried cutting meat and tomatos just now with my wetterling... cuts nice

Why is that a losing comment?

The exact quote in the article is:
As a side note, a simple GB axe, either the Scandinavian or Small Forest axe would outperform either of these two knives for a fraction of the price.

The specific axes listed cost under $65, and the knives are several times more than that ($300-500).

Either of these axes, and the Scandinavian especially so, will out chop a bowie knife very easily, especially in thick wood.

The article also noted that the Small Forest axe was used to point out the same stakes and did so better than the knives.

Here is the quote:
For comparison, a Spyderco Endura averaged about 18 cuts, the two best tools that I had for this work were a GB Small Forest Axe, which averaged 6 cuts and a Busse BAIII (Blademan Custom) which averaged 8 cuts.

Further, your comment of:

I can not tell if you were sincere or sarcastic. However, an axe can be used for field food prep:

Now, where blade legnth was a critical factor, cutting grasses or sweeping small limbs (twigs) the longer edge of the knife would be beneficial.

On thicker limbs, and axe like the Scaninavian is about perfect.
