Here is a single thread for those of you who wanted some of the Swedish axes I ordered so we don't clutter up the Firewood thread.
Tagging @TheGerman just because he likes quality, expensive stuff and will therefore buy one to prove that he isn't poor.
Here is the deal. I ordered $3500 and change in Swedish hand forged, antique axes. I hand selected these out of a batch of about 150 axes through a contact I have in Sweden. I will be passing some of these axes along to interested Hide Members for exactly what I have into them plus actual shipping. I won't be making anything off of you. If you want them cleaned up and made to look all nice like a new axe, I can do that but it will be at my convenience and I will charge you for my time and materials. If I was to clean these up an sell them on eBay they would retail for $200 minimum. These will all come in at half of that or less, (sometimes significantly less), depending on the specific item, of course.
Here is my personal one from a previous order all cleaned up and sharpened.
Kolefors Bruk 1943 production with arctic birch handle.
So far 21 people on the Hide have expressed interest in at least one, sometimes multiple, axes. I have 52 that I ordered total. Once they get in I will post pics of each axe with what the price will be to your door.
The folks tagged below are those who are already in line for first crack at what they have expressed interest in.
Those so annotated have been assigned one of the batch of NOS Gransfors that are in the order. No additional Gransfors are available.
In no particular order:
