Carving axe/hatchet

(1/3) > >>

HoBow:
It's been a while since i posted.  Hope everyone is doing well.  Does anyone do much work with carving axes?  If so, any recommendations? I've looked at plenty and it seams like the reputable ones are $100-250.  Are they that much better than the $40 one I have now. The Swedish axes seam to be the most popular.  Any advice is appreciated.   Thanks!

vinemaplebows:
I would be curious as well.

The old saying is"You get what you pay for" ( most of the time)!  I would think the Swedish hatchets are very good, but that is a chunk of money.  If your hatchet is doing what you want to your expectations, stay with it.  Your skill level should determine whether a high dollar hatchet is worth it.

People tend to think that the expensive tools will turn them into an expert. It's kinda the other way around. You should be an expert to appreciate expensive tools. For most of us a moderately priced tool will do the job nicely.
