Does anyone know the history of this axe/hatchet ? The photo is from BadMojo:

I'ld love to get my hands on one :)
 
No, but I wouldn't mind having one :D. It looks to have the same scales as the old slotted screw Battle Mistresses don't know from when though, maybe around 1996-7?. That Badger looks sweet too! Maybe the second generation A2 with the polished spine? Mulder's probably drooling :D. I don't really know much about the older Busses.....
 
They are INFI and if anyone knows where the heck the third one is, I would love to know. Heck I'd probably even give a reward for information leading to the discovery of the third one if I could talk the owner out of it. The one you have posted is bead blased with a mirror polished cutting edge with no discernable V edge, it is a full convex job all the way out to the business end. The other one that has been found was sent back to the shop for a refurb, so it bears the new Custom Shop logo. It has a hook on the poll side. It is a shame that it was sent back, regardless of how much abuse it took or how much it was discolored. It can't be helped now. I have never even seen the third one, but I understand all three were different. That is all I can tell you. Oh yeah the one picture has "INFI" on the spine of the handle and I think it has the symbols for inffinity flanking the word as well.
 
I, as a collector, sincerely hope not. More of the same will only dilute the value of the existing ones. Now if he were to make one with a Fusion handle or something, then that would be a little different. But I still hope that doesn't happen.
 
A similar model with fusion handle would be fantastic, I would certainly buy one !

How thick was the stock on Jerry's original 3 ?
