Big box stores its a whole other thing and then you are on your own with those. Well at the end you found one and if it handles the way you want then you found your tool. | |

I'm sure if I knew how it's a relatively simple job and is the best and cheapest way to get several axes of these dimensions. But for just one, the time and energy (and money) spent sourcing bits and handles separately, and someone to do the work, would probably outweigh that of ordering an expensive axe online. | |
| Mar 29, 2016 at 14:18 | comment | added | Daron | Thanks for the reference. I ended up buying a Hultafors Hunters Axe which is 50cm long -- about the right length -- and weighs a kilo. It seems Gransfors have a good range of lengths and their bits are generally smaller than normal, however this is partially due to the narrow grind that makes the axe more suitable for limbing than splitting. | |
