Great work Jim. Respect for your axe skills and safety with this when working. Looks a super axe, and very versatile.

really nice

Wish these were selling for under 150 for a worn out head haha

[@jimleighty7408]

Agreed! But they are super rare to find in good condition. Matt from Beaver creek woodcraft has a method of procuring them, might want to check with him if you are interesting in owning a finnish axe. His prices all things considered are great for the quality of craftsmanship.

@@passwordistaco507 well i bet load of people there speak English and they might ship axes. You probably could change the language on the site too.

You NEVER carry an axe with the blade facing front! Even with a sheath.

[@beavercreekwoodcraft8134]

Hey bud, could you clarify your reasoning for this statement? I really fail to see how the direction of the bit could matter when its slung across the body? Could you also explain to me how even a razor sharp axe, such as this one, can cut through a solid 12 oz leather welt and 1/8" copper rivets by pure accident?
