I’m getting close to purchasing a larger axe primarily for felling ( really just cause I want another axe) These are the axes I’m thinking about. Thoughts on Prandi Yankee or German style Snow & Nealy Ochsenkopf Universal thanks!
I can't really comment on any of ones mentioned, but just a reminder sometimes you can find a great old vintage ax head on ebay and put a new handle in it and probably have a better ax then a lot them on the market today in that price range, and it's a lot of fun, finding a really good old head and hanging it on a good hickory handle. I have acquired some really good ones, that way.
Currently restoring an old Brades Co No3 311 hatchet head which had spent around 40 years in a damp garage draw. Feels like a good quality head, and nice feeling bringing it back to life.
farmer steve is the guy with the axes that was at your GTG here on FHC? He was a guru and had beautiful hardware with him.
So with cooler weather back, I’m immediately back on this awesome site! That said, I did some heavy soul searching ( actually looked in my wallet) and ended up with another Fiskers axe to add with my x27. I bought the Fiskers felling/chopping axe because for now I decided I wanted a functioning axe over a classic one that Id be cautious of using. It’s chopping power deserves all the hype it gets.
I don't have any of these but those Ochsenkopf axes are SWEET!!! At least I think they look sweet. If I had to pick one, that would be it! I do feel what you're saying about using something like that, sometimes it just feels better to get a Fiskars and use the work horse!
