SOL or Netto would be your go to guys here. Interested in what you decide because I've shopped both of those and the Fiskars axe this week.

Re: grand forks bruks felling axe
Well worth the premium, Grandsfors Bruks is top of the line. I had the small forest axe and made the mistake of letting it go but it was one of the nicest I have had... Wetterlings would be another good choice IMHO..

Re: granfors bruks felling axe
Look at the husqvarnsa axe for about 20% less, good value for the money. One of the best values is an old axe to restore. You can pick up a good axe for $3-$20 at a flea market to restore. My best/favorite axe I picked up for $1.
Oh, how so high they fly........ only further to fall.

Re: granfors bruks felling axe
GB are great I cant really say much bad about them, though I dont think they are work the cost for my use. If I was a wood carver and required the very best tool, ya GB axe, 2 cherries chisels , water stones, and so on. The nature of my work is much more abusive , often im cutting dirty muddy wood, using a less then ideal chopping block, smashing rocks , im abusing it much more then im planing a bow or skinning an animal with it. I dont want to be afraid to take a file to it, to grind it sharp on a rock, dig a shit hole. If im going to work a nice wood project I just sharpen it and put a real keen edge on it at that point and as long as it completes the project I realyl dont care if its hair popping sharp after that.
For a me a decent axe head, hand carved handle"Osage" , the final 1 inch of edge polished to a mirror finish, and a decent sheath is a tool well up to my use.
Have I helped you ......not really
Would I like to get a GB axe as a gift......sure beats the hell out of socks....lol

Re: granfors bruks felling axe
I think it's worth the extra money, because of the craftsmanship and materials used to make the axe. It's just a really quality tool. And I beat the crap out of it... And it handles it just fine.
That being said, I've had no issues with council tool either though. I haven't beat on those like I have my Gransfors though... So I guess I don't have a definitive opinion on those.

Re: granfors bruks felling axe
"I know it's an old thread, but maybe it will be a timely resurrection for someone, my choise it's Fiskars Chopping Axe like this . It's very comfortable in work, so I work with them a lot. The axe is suitable for felling trees thanks to beneficial weight distribution and innovative blade geometry.
If we speak about cons it's: great weight distribution, shock-absorbing handle, weather-resistant handle material, sharp blade edge, it feels durable and lightweight, affordable price.
Of course there are a lot of other good axe but i liked this.
