Also, 335s have pretty thin scales anyway, just under 1" inclusive.
This one is a bit thinner, ok for light work but I think it would be a hand-burner if you had to use it hard for an extended length of time. Makes it feel very snappy though.
Most of the poly handed Imacasas hover around the 1.25" mark (just measured a model 808) and are very round.
Since this one is ground to the tang it was easier to keep the billet a manageable size and still have enough meat left over to have a guard.
Its a swedish "safety" brush axe. Usually made by Sandvik. The northernmost yankees (Canadians I think they call themselves) are wont to call the entire type "Sandviks".
Not my favorite tool very limited in its capabilities, but good for kids and noobs since it is nearly impossible to injure yourself with one.
They do excel at whacking down woody growths smaller than thumb size. Perfect for rosebushes.
Very cool tool! Down here near the border, we're pretty familiar with machetes, but I've never seen a safety axe for sale anywhere. I could see how a safety axe could be a great "starter" tool. Regular axes and machetes are very unforgiving of a mistake.
