Thats nice Dear.

 

You got caught out making yourself sound important by claiming Øyo products were junk.

 

Thats all anyone needs to know about your experiance of them.

Norway is an expensive round trip to buy an axe - I'd go for what I can get locally and save myself about £1000.

 

For quality, you get rubbish and after that a lot of the quality is not the tool but the user, bet I could split as much with my Fiskars from the local store as I could with the best from Oyo (ignoring the tourist grades or whatever).

I believe Øyo is a relatively cheap and massed produced brand you find in such stores as XXL in Norway. I have their Viking Axe as I like the look of it and its supposedly a reproduction of one found in a Burial Mound but the workmanship is trash.

As others have mentioned get a Gransfors Bruk, far better quality and can be found in the UK. Or if asthetics in not your main concern then get a Fiskars. 

 

 

I really like the look of that.

 

The quality wouldn’t bother me, I wouldn’t be killing any Northumbrian monks with it.

It’s a nice toy. I never bought it to use it really. I actually made a copy of the handle out of Ash, polished the head and mounted it on that.

Here is a picture from Røldal during hunting season, late august but pretty chilly.

Beautiful! I've only been in winter/spring, would love to get over when there is less snow too. Or ideally just move!!
