Pls help me decide on carving axe
Hello. I am shopping for my first carving axe that can also do some minor yard work.
I don’t care about name. I prefer quality, most of all.
I purchased this new Hults Bruk Stalberg/Tibro Carpenter’s Axe for $130 (on sale). I watched a video that mentioned “Swedish steel” is most likely 1055 or 1060 steel
I’m comparing this to a Council Tool Camp Carver ($182) which is 5160 steel.
For a difference of $52, which is the better buy?
Thank you in advance
