This is part 5 in a series on testin and modifying the Husqvarna Multipurpose Forest Axe. This axe came with a number of problems that have to be dealt with before it can be put to serious use. In this video I thin down the very thick handle to make it more useable and less fatiguing. I use a shoe maker's rasp, and a knife for scraping.
