I've had an HB Aneby for about 3 years now and have really liked using it. I've also got an Almike for smaller jobs. I was out your way this past summer and used it to help peel some freshly cut logs working with the Colorado Trail Foundation to build a bridge on the CT near Camp Hale. While everyone else was using draw knives, I was able to get more accomplished using the Aneby. Enjoyed your review and demo.

if you plan on splitting wood with that you need to make a overstrike guard for the handle. I have the handle guarded the width of the blade and 30 percent more. I wrapped the handle with bicycle tube doubled over so that there is 4 layers. Then I made a leather covering and laced it up with bankline. At the very least having innertube available is a source of flammable material for last ditch fire starting. The style of hatchet was designed to fell and limb pine . Which should fit well with the pines around Colorado

Randy J I doubt I’ll split too much wood with it, but that’s a good idea nonetheless. I have an old leather belt that I might be able to salvage for the guard. Thanks for the idea and thanks for watching.

The issue with most the Swedish axes popular in the states is the head profile is more of a limbing axe the a chopping or splitting axe. My favorite is a Hudson Bay axe. But for splitting a good maul is hard to beat. And it is the poll of the axe.

Adventures with Frodo I agree that this would be the wrong axe for a lot of splitting. For chopping, felling, limbing, and splitting as a camping axe, it can handle each one decently enough. I also agree that you can’t beat a proper maul for splitting large numbers of logs. That’s what most of the wood in that big pile was split with.

Looks like a great, well built tool, and I agree, it looks like a perfect, small camp ax. I want one...but I don't think I need one. And while I buy camping stuff I want, but don't need, every so often, the price is a bit steeper than I'm usually willing to spend on frivolous kit. Good review though, thanks.

Dirk Stabins I admit that this was the result of a Christmas gift card. If I had to spend my own money, I would have been more hesitant to splurge. And if you already own a hatchet or axe, then there would be little need to add this one to your quiver of tools. I’m also trying to avoid buying gear that I want but don’t need, so I hear you on that front. Thanks for watching and commenting!
