They are good axes, no doubt. But most of their designs are for Boreal forests and evergreen wood.
I really like council tool axes. They have more designs that were meant for American hardwood! They are cheaper axes price wise, for the most part, and will need some edge work, but they are excellent. Also, council has a velvicut line that is higher quality, made of 5160 .

I work for a tree service and if I bought any axe from gransfors it would be the American felling axe. Which is a big felling axe, that might be overkill for some jobs.

Hatchets are different, and council doesn't make any that I know of. I only like hatchets to pound wedges for tree work, and a lot of the time that is done with a full sized axe or sledge hammer...I climb trees and hatchets are useful to bring up in a tree, but other than that I think they are gimmicky. I would rather have a full sized axe or a big knife most of the time. Just my opinion.
