An axe is my fave tool and my SO wants to get me a good one for Christmas. What do you recommend?
This will he used a lot and beaten up. Also tips to keep it sharp would be appreciated

Council tool velvicut is American made
Granfors bruk is from Scandinavia. Probably better but certainly more
This is assuming you don’t get an old ax someone has redone

Granfors supposedly.
I used to be a axe swinging SOB back in my college days. Always wanted a nice splitting maul but all I ever had was a big heavy bitch from tractor supply. Worked good enough.

Lol I have one from Lowes too but I’m looking for something a little more serious.

Watching Buckin Billy Ray who splits wood with a double sided Michigan axe, I have become less a believer in heavy splitting heads

What are you planning on using it for?
one type axe =/= another axe

Is this for murdering people or cutting up bodies after the fact? Splitting wood or skulls?

Stihl makes excellent hard-use general purpose axes. If you want something lighter for camping use look at Husqvarna, $70 on Amazon for a hand forged Swiss-made axe is a hell of a deal.

This is completely true. I think of an axe to cut down trees, etc. Think of a maul when splitting wood.
Www.vintageaxeworks.com is something like I was talking about. But def not cheap

I have an old double-bit Tru-temper and it's great. Gave a very old cast cruiser double-bit to a friend I found buried in an old shed. Kept the single-bit I found with it and hung it with a new ash handle.

This, but you won’t be getting one anytime soon, unless on the secondary market.
Dude it’s an artist and can get whatever he wants for his work.

The double bit stays in my truck.
