Very much alive and well, 300yrs and countingI don't believe they are still in business.
Browsed through axes and hatchets last night for awhile. They're like firearms, so many options, and I want them all.

Here's the problem, once ya get a good one that makes that sweet,cut... Oh my ya wanna cut more and more and,more wether ya need to or not. Its like hitting a,golf ball just right or that perfect arrow flight. Ya hooked must do,more need moreI'd love to have a Gransfors Bruks, or Wetterlings. But for the amount of use I cant justify the price. The Marbles, and Council tool, seem to be pretty good quality.

I struggled that same,question months. Finally took a leap , went double Really happy with that choice. I think I did a small,review earlier. I went budget friendly and again very happy , only major gripe was I didn't like laquer on the handle uugghhh, so I tossed it in,my burn barrel fire till bubbled then scraped and little sanding and lots of BLO, the council Michigan double serves well. I USE my tools so if im,saying it serves it works, not sitting dusty in garage in case zombies come or a EMP etc..... I wanna know what I have ahead of,timeI think all I really want now is a good felling axe. I've got the USFS axe for small felling, limbing, and splitting. And the Marbles camp axe for hatchet work. I'm really torn between a single or double bit feller though.
Good eye caddQThose look too small for beaver....What are you trapping?
