This Sandvik/Helko werk hardware store axe was my first axe I really learned on. It has been sharpened and modified greatly and has been a far better tool to work with than if I had simply bought a Gransfors Bruk not knowing what I was doing and afraid to ruin its value.
Axe sharpening isn't hard nor is hanging axes and thinning handles. its just part of learning and you will have to learn it at some point if you use axes. You cant spend big dollars and get big results
