Hey guys,
So the other day when I was looking at handguns at the local shop, I noticed some Nice looking wetterlings. I took a look at them and was surprised by the F&F of them, they had good grain and straight handles, polished edges, well formed heads and were centered. So, all ready having a good sized axe, I figured I would try out the mini hatchet, pair it with a smaller fixed (nimravus) and a folder and try that on any outings for a while.
So, on to the pics.
First off, a few of my pack with it attached. And a neat little trinket I got from a Gum ball machine!
And the little compass that came from a gumball machine. No fluid, so it wont freeze time will tell if it sticks up, but over all im happy for a buck.
Now to the axe, I was happy when I saw the edge on this one, it was polised somewhat and was very sharp, would pick hairs actually, I stropped it a bit and now shaves fine.
Here is the left-overs of a x-mas tree that I would be using.
A quick chop and it cleaned through a half inch limb, not a big feat, but its nice to see a clean cut like this.
Then I cleaned the tree of the limbs, the ranged from .5 to 1 inch thickness, took maybe a minute.
Did some quick shaving with it, not problems, work very well in fact, and sharp.
Then did some chopping of what was left, this piece was about 3 inchs thick, and after 8-10 chops I was happy with it.
Then 3 chops later.
Bit more to come.....
