Swedish double bit Axes: Wetterlings and Gransfors Bruks

[der_vincent]

Hi Fellows,

in my mind, the double bit axes from Sweden are really great choppers and throwers. Last week, i made a short vid on Wetterlings:

(please notice the little hidden hint in Minute 10:01 for the next vid; you recognize this beauty?? Although it is not from Sweden... )

Cheers

Sweet video! I can barely throw my 'hawks and knives let alone a double bit axe.

While you're learning to throw consistently I guess you need to keep a good supply of handles on hand. And yes phantom bevels on that teaser at the end of the vid are likely an American product.

Hi Buddy,

thanks ... and you know what: in fact i think that throwing a large double bit is more easy than throwing a hawk.
For the last 5 years, i have thrown the Cold Steel Rifleman's and Norse ... both are very fine Tomahawks.

But for a year now, i use nearly all the time the double bit. it feels more "sporty" and more symmetric for both arms... and it is easy, once you have found the right distance to your target.

Cheers, Vincent
