Anyone ever been to the Steamboat Arabia museum in Kansas city? I love to visit there and see the growing display of axes, knives, hatchets, and wood working tools.
This ship sunk in 1856. Headed upriver with 200 tons of supplies for the western frontier hardware stores.
A vast collection of pocket knives, axes of every description, and knives for trade and skinning / butchering.
I learn something new every time. View attachment 746124
There are many styles of axes and hatchets. Most were manufactured in New England. And most have makers marks. As do the knives. Have any of you been here?
I think you would be amazed how much enjoyment it would bring nowI live in Kansas and I went when it first opened - but I was much younger and I didn't have the same kind of interest I have today. I really want to go back.
That leather set up is a work of art, bloody beautiful.![]()
