Another nice custom camp axe !

[goatariba]

I have been harrassing Bruce Culberson to make one for a while no. since i have a necker, and a belt knife from him already, and a fillet knife in the makings i suppose i can't pressure him too much.
i love these camp axes. can't wait to have one made up.

Hi pit, yes that makes sence. This design was from another forum member and is to his specs. Do you have a pic of that drawing that you mentioned?

Bryan

I drew up a few different designs Bryan but can't find any of them now ( yeah sure ya did Pit !!!!) I actually started thinking of something along those lines after seeing this knife from TOPS.......

I do still have this drawing of a Knife/Ulu combo that could be lashed to a stick and used as an axe, I came up with this one a while back.......

Hi Pitdog Yea I remember seeing that pic. Having a Ulu is kind of cool LOL. It the point sharp on that to or just a point? and what about the top part was any of that going to be sharp as well?

No all the top section would be flat edged. The blade would be sharpened up to the point !

Nice, I love those style. I have a western one and made a few of my own, one was a norse style, and a few other hawk shapes. Never had them heat treated so one snapped on me trying it out.

Normark used to sell a skinning axe that looked like a ulu with a handle, a friend had one and he loved it.
He used it on a few moose

Those are some great looking hatchets!


Goatariba,
I was planning on making a few hatchets late this summer.......well now late summer is just around the corner! I have your fillet knife, a hunting knife, and a 12" blade parang to make - then I'll be on to hatchets (I want one for myself too!). Oh and I have 4 neckers/small knives in various stages of completion that are going in the For Sale forum once they are finished.

I'm heading out tomorrow for a 10 day sheep hunt backpacking in the mountains. When I get back I'll send you a sketch of the fillet knife.
