The Collins Pulaski wasn't in as bad a shape as the photo indicated. Which helped keep the price down.    :D


there was a explaination of the guy that invented the Pulaski on Mysteries at the Museum the other night on TV.

Guy saved a bunch of people by holding them at gunpoint in a mineshaft while a firestorm raged just outside. He invented that axe style to save on the equipment firefighters carried in the back country.

I bought a GB Outdoor before Christmas and can't recommend it enough :)

I would quite like to get my son a light hatchet to use in the woods though :)

Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk

REALLY like the look of the Gransfors Bruks Outdoor. :drool:  Not a cheap axe though, and the axe I mounted myself is actually very similar size and weight.  No doubt whatsoever that the GB is better, but it's tough to justify when I've already got the size/weight covered.

As Grathr says; I've really got all the axes I need (and then some ;) ) so I've got nothing planned.  only thing I wouldn't mind is a good small double bit, but I really don't need one.

When I was at my local Scandinavian shop (and I love that I have a local Scandinavian shop :D) not only did I buy my new Mora, but I also got a good look at the GB Outdoor axe.  Man, is that a good axe or what? :drool:  Super light and fantastic balance, it's everything I was aiming for when I put together my axe, but just ten times better.  You're a lucky guy Mike. :tu:
