The first is a Gransfors Bruks American Felling axe. It has yet to see wood, hopefully I will get to use it camping in August in Michigan.
The second is a Norlund Hudson Bay axe I got a week before Hurricane Andrew, she has helped out my times since.
I use a 2 sided Carborundum or a Lansky Puck, followed by a beat up Swaty. I have use a 10" bastard file for quick edges, during hurricanes, on the Hudson Bay. I refuse to use a file on the Gransfors Bruks.
