+1 on the info Brian! I really enjoyed reading your blog.

I recently got a Gerber hatchet based on the good comments and was a little surprised by the cutting ability. The edge was dull and to be honest I didn't expect a razor edge but it was closer to blunt.

I filed it down and I will admit it did better than my Ranger, but not by much. I was ready to go Gransfors based on the destruction tests (since that is exactly how I plan on beating the thing, J/K!) but I think I'll study up on it before making a purchase. I like the link and will use that info to sharpen my Gerber.

I saw the Snow & Nealley Axes at your store, what's the geometry like on those?
