Hello,

Would like others opinions on this recent purchase.
New Gränsfors Bruk Small Splitting Axe, purchased in the US from a dealer in the US.
Requested when ordered for the best of the batch, this is what I received.
Is this satisfactory these days with this company? My SFA is flawless, this however seems a bit less than what I was expecting.
Right out of the box I got a splinter via the handle and the hang looks to be done late on Friday.
If this is satisfactory in the eyes of the majority and it’s just a aesthetic flaw but is safe and perfectly functional then I will break out the sandpaper and BLO and spend a little time on it and call it a day.
If you care to share photos of what is and is not acceptable that would be outstanding.
Greatly appreciate all the feedback.
