Hultafors Qvarfot Felling Axe

Quality purchase, swings easy, all in all totally satisfied with this purchase.

Aby or Qvarfot?

Easy. I picked the Qvarfot because I am not planning to hike with it. It would have been five stars if the poll is as nice as the Aby.

An affordable beauty and pleasure for life

I absolutely love this axe. This may be three times the cost of a Canadian Tire axe, but it works so much better. Don't you want an axe that works as a an axe? It's sharp on arrival, holds it's edge, and it's thin blade is so much more effective at chopping. It'll go through a two inch branch in two strokes. It's also beautiful! It just feels like an item of craftsmanship – perfected over centuries. I expect to get pleasure from using this axe for the rest of my life.
