Good axe, poor handle finish
Initial review: 3.5 starsPros:solid fit upGood grain orientationIt’s definitely a carving axeCons:Poor handle finishConvex grind (if you’re looking for a scandi ground sloyd axe, this isn’t it)The first thing I noticed out of the box was the handle. It seemed unevenly finished and there were even chips on the lower part of the handle. They don’t seem to compromise performance or use, but I definitely could see them catching me if I slid my hand up the lower part of the handle. I’m not sure if Gransfors Bruks ok’d this or if the seller didn’t take proper care, but it’s really not nice to see at this price point.Otherwise, grain orientation is good. Fit up seems solid, although there did appear to be some gaps. Only time will tell. There was no step wedge which is fine with me for a carving axe.But the important part is the head. It’s visibly hand forged which is a plus. The profile is definitely that of a carving axe and it has its reputed weight.My biggest gripe is the grind. It has a convex bevel when it should have a scandi grind. I suppose “carving axe” does not necessarily entail “sloyd axe” but every other part of the axe is already purpose built. As someone with limited tooling, it’ll take some work for me to adjust that.QC issue aside, I would say the axe, itself, is worth the price. This is the initial unboxing review, with only brief testing. I will update after I’ve put it through a good amount of work.
