if you need to take an axe with you into the wilderness, then make sure it is Åby. In addition to its main purpose as a forest axe for chopping firewood, it can also be used for survival work due to the shape of the axe head. For such purposes the large barb also enables control of the blade if required. In order to perform more precise tasks such as preparing material for the construction of a shelter, the axe has a relatively straight blade.
