Just bought a decent amount of land majority of it is heavily wooded.
Been looking at different axe brands.
What would you all recommend for a nice felling axe and a splitting maul? Possibly even a general use hatchet/axe. I’ve got a crkt Freyr axe and im not impressed with the quality AT ALL. I don’t mind buying once crying once if the axe is worth the coin. That being said do any of you have experience with a Gransfors Bruks??? They look amazing. Would like to stay around $500ish for both axes. For General use I’m not entirely convinced I need to ditch the Freyr. It does the job just not as elegant as I’d like...
prefer to avoid made in China.
Also, while we are at it. Are you sharpening with stone or belt sander?
