Heading to Natick today. Was thinking the longer scandanavian may do better. Need it for taking small branches off trees, putting wedges in while chainsawing, cutting kindling, and killing all the stupid vines on my trees.
Yup. i've had one for 3 years now. It's phenomenal. Bought one for my brother for the holidays last year.I've got the Small Forest Axe. It's outstanding.
Just go ahead and buy it. You'll be hard-pressed to find a better made tool.
I wouldn't bother going to any Fjallraven store looking for this unless you call first and they tell you they have them in shop. I've been to the one on Newbury Street and it's all junky fashion bullshit.
Yup. First time I got a "find store near me" bring it up I thought it would be convenient to stop in. What they had was of the best quality, but it was all bespoke clothes with a few other pieces that were more for atmosphere than actual use.
I bought one of their winter coats a few years back. Within a month the tab on the zipper pull broke off. I put a split ring on it and forged ahead after being told I could leave it with them to ship back to their shop in NYC to repair for a month (in February). By the next year two teeth had broken off the zipper and both zippers had fallen off. This on an expensive jacket.
I have a waterproof shell from them that is awesome, but I now chalk the brand up as being hit or miss junk.
Be sure the back side of the axe head is designed for hammering. If not, the handle hole may start to open up a bit and deform as you strike wedges, etc....

Not with plastic wedges.Think it would be an issue with plastic felling wedges? I wouldnt be hammering any metal.
What you are looking for is a hardened poll.Be sure the back side of the axe head is designed for hammering. If not, the handle hole may start to open up a bit and deform as you strike wedges, etc....
