Look what I uncovered in a shed out on the rural compound:
It's my old Gransfors Bruks felling axe, a type they no longer make. It's been the single most effective and rugged tool I've ever owned. It will go through a white spruce in a few strokes, and I even used it to break frozen bricks of meat up at thirty and forty below zero. You can build up tremendously powerful strikes with it, thanks to its high grade steel head and arched hickory handle. It can literally slice through a car door, just like the jaws of life. And nose-to-nose with a thin Katana blade, I have no doubt which would cut the other half in two.
I'm going to clean it up and put a new edge on it, then will post some more pics. Forget the swords. AXES are all you really need.
