For my birthday I received the Gransfors Bruks Wildlife Hatchet and I think its great. I asked for the hatchet because its my first axe/ hatchet so that's why I did not go for something slightly bigger. 29792978:zombie-fighting:

Ah, ok...... when camping, what do you use the handcuffs for? I know, similar to the use of carabiners for hanging your hammock. Lol ;)

Can't blame 'em really.
A guy can do some damage with a axe.

GB makes sweet axes that come razor sharp, and are easy to bring the edge back with a few strokes of a fine file or stone. LIterally they shave hair out of the box, and the finish........... oh man, sexy!!!

What a great axe, although I do not have one my self, they have such a huge following and amazing heritage, you can't go wrong.
