Quality swedish axes/hatchets?

[Boss .300 winmag]

I just bought an Eastwing campers axe.




I took my work sharp to it and made a new convex edge and it's a chopping fool now.  I had it sharp enough to gut a deer, but not hair popping sharp, I took it to a chunk of larch that's been dry for 5 years and hard as a brick.  Thought to see if I could roll the edge but it held, and it stayed sharp.  I got it to pop small limbs off logs and emergency tree across the road truck axe. 

Pretty happy with it, but you must put your own edge on it or it's not worth packing.  It's not a GB, but the handle will never fall off and it does hold and edge pretty good.  If you don't remove or replace the axe scabbard the right way it'll lay your hand wide open, so caution there.  I grab the top edge of the scabbard and slide it on with due care so it won't bite me.

Got one next to the wood stove, works great.

Someone asked for pics.







Sorry for the cheesy inside the jacket picture. It was either that or in the hay all over the back of my Jeep.

Check out the yearly packwood fleamarket. So many axes/hatchet, your head will spin.  There is also a shop that refurbs used ones down in Tacoma called Vulcan something, but doing it your self is simple enough. 
You just bought the  Ferrari though.
