3rd Best Made over same size Neeman
4th is a GB Felling on a JN Felling
5th is a fit shot the top is the Best Made, the GB, the JN and the bottom two are Tuatahi

The fit in the eye of the Neeman and the Best Made are perfect, the others leave some to be desired.
I expected much more from Tuatahi for the price and reputation, chops wicked, but their quality is slipping, same with GB.
All of the Neeman's are custom cut to fit the eye perfectly, so far they feel like they are going to chop well.
The handles are over sized compared to the GB, Best Made and Snow and thin at the end for a nice grip.
The JN's are very heavy for the size, that cute little 13"er weighs in at 899 grams
John Neeman American Felling Axe weight, I have two, the 2nd one is within 28 grams.

That's fine. For me it would be more of Neeman's axes and in particular the AXE10. I have one on order with them but it'll be a couple of months of waiting.

Sorry I haven't been able to get back here, my Mother was having some health issues.

Thursday morning I'll be heading to Blade and the Neeman's will be going with me if anyone would like to check them out.

Send me a PM with a phone number and I'll call you or you can find me close to the Busse Display.
