Cheap quality axes

[scorpian]

Looking for a decent axe on a budget, try searching ebay for ex military/ ex-army axes, there are some good german army and danish army axes for sale at the mo, and i purchased one of the danish hatchets and found it good value and quality.

Thanks mate, I have been looking at the Danish Army one and I will get one after Christmas, I bought one of the ones Argos were selling for £2.99, it took a while to put an edge on it but they are cracking wee axes and are about the same size as the scout axe, great value even if you aren't on a budget.

Good one.. Cheers for that..
Bahco (makers of the Laplander saw etc) make a good little cheapish axe too.. http://tooltray.com/garden-tools/axe...paign=Shopping

I got a Brades Criterion from old tool schools for £12, quick clean up and put a new edge on it, It is an awesome little axe.
Look out at car boots and attic/garage sales you can pick these things up for a fiver.

I remember Justin buying one of those, think he paid something daft like £2.50 or £2.99 and then spent a few hours working on it, turned it into a completely different looking axe Not sure if he kept it or maybe even gave it to Martin as a gift? Not sure, I'll ask.

No, never gave it to me.

However, I got one of these and Justin very kindly took it away and put a fantastic edge on it, for which I am very very greatful.

Ah right, yeah now I remember, I think they were so cheap he bought two, one for you and one for himself. I remember the most distinct change he made was blackening up the handle or making it brown and with no markings or branding on the handle or blade it looked a lot better

Bahco made decent stuff, so should be a good little hatchet for the price.
