    Clear cutting half arsed, why?

    I found after using my chainsaw i needed a good AXe try finding a good one at a fair

    Just saw this tread, so best ax in my opinion, and I use an ax almost daily is a granfords bruks ax. Top notch great grind and makes you understand why an ax was such a deadly weapon. Once you have one you will not ever want to use another one. Still hand forged in Sweden.
