Why is it so hard to find a good axe in Ireland?

godwin

For years I had a Husquvarna splitting axe, some gob**** robbed it on me, now I'm trying to replace it. everywhere I go it's the same old crap Dargin tools axes or those crap ones with the orange/yellow polymer handle, none of the Husqvarna dealers near me do axes.

Has anyone got any idea where to pick up good axes? price isn't really an issue.

Thanks I'll keep the for future reference, I won't get a fiskars, I'm not into polymer handles, they shatter at the base and I can't attach a tin shatter guard to the base .

i got one of these from this store, free shipping!
