Im seriously thinking about investing in one!

The woodsmiths store sell Gransfors, as do ProAdventure (thru Amazon)

How can you justify it as an investment:blushing:

[Andy Collins]

If it's something people want I'll start stocking them.

 

Honestly Justin, at most of the shows since we started this little event, at least one person has enquired as to where to get them. forest & arb wished theyd taken them to the AA Show, as I think I had 5 queries on one day. I could have probably sold 2 straight off at your show. Thing is, they tend to be an impulse buy, once people leave the shows I dont think theyd be so keen. Of course, if we start a comp then maybe greater interest, who knows?

I might also look at selling the bracket for the target, I think most people will be able to source the rest of the parts.

Bob, I have the ochsenkopf. Never used the Gransfors. Andy had one at the show but I didn't want to tarnish my hands by using it. Andy seemed to like it though.

[Andy Collins]

If im honest, I really couldnt choose between the two, weight, balance, everything is similar. Its probably down to whether you like the gay polished finish of the Oshenkopf (sp) or the rugged good looks of the Gransfors. Both are very well made, and with practise you can even hit the woodwork sometimes.

[RobArb]

what IS the difference though between the oschenkopf and the gransfors apart from price?

[Andy Collins]

The manufacturers are the difference, and the finish of the metalwork.

[RobArb]

but from i throwing perspective, i guess its personal preference then?

 

do you reckon both types will be at the APF?
