I got mine in Thai Watsadu, both are still working well.
The forest was shrinking daily but the trees kept voting for the axe as its handle was made of wood and they thought it was one of them.

Just been in TW, they don't have the stainless ones I bought, the ones they do have don't look as good.

I bring most of my stuff from home each trip. Buy second hand, the good old stuff, spades like they were meant to be, racks made from real steel, and a grubber /maddock meant for mens hands. I bought over a new motorised post hole borer this trip, just got inside the baggage allowance..have abit of fencing to do.. I tried Thai hammers and axes, and within days the handles broke off. so bring it from home I say

I bought one of those green shovels (?made in the UK?) at Toolpro several years ago. It's as good as the one from the US that lasted me 15 years. As I recall, they had a cheaper model (same company) that was lighter......I bought the heavier one, a bit pricier.
I haven't seen any other shops in Udon that sold similar quality shovels.
