I used to work in another yard and they had the Oregon models, short and long versions, they were great, a little light but despite abuse never broke, they also had a ridged back edge which was useful for levering logs over to roll on the processor but are around £80 from memory.

I purchased the bison for my own yard as I wanted to see how much my chaps would take to using one and every time I wanted it someone else had it which I thought was great,

I purchased the fiskars second time round as amazon were offering a decent price but no one has taken to it, I agree it's too light and doesn't hold in certain timber well unless you impale it so I'm a little disappointed and in hindsight would prefer a second bison..

I can say that the Oregon ones were top, held well and both were still useable after 4 years with various people using them, I'll try and find one ..

Great thanks. That looks the same as the one in the previous Amazon link which I have now found just different branding. So if I want to be tight get the metal handled Bison and Oregon/Ochsenkopf  if I want the best. Cant see a long handled Oregon on these shores though

 

Anyone want a bargain Fiskers log pick, seen little use

You can choose between 500 and 700mm by clicking where it says "size name" they seem to be cheaper than they used to be, the 700mm is still under £60.00

Had the same experience as you with the Helko. I've had one for a few years and it's still going strong. My mate got the Helko after using mine one day but he smashed his not long after getting it. Definitely depends on who's using it!

Appreciate the help but 700mm is still on the short side
