Does anyone have the gransfors bruks froe?  Is that any good?
I have one. I use it to cut blanks for oak pegs. I am very satisfied with it. It's hand-forged and it will last forever, though a cheaper one would likely perform as well. Their axes are delivered very sharp, but the froe much less so. As mentioned above, a froe is not a cutting tool. They do clearly state, "when you strike with a mallet..."; they are not intended to struck with a metal hammer. The handle is wedged in to the eye when in use, but is easily loosened so it packs "flat".

(I see now I've responded to an 11-year-old post... ;D.)
