Cold Steel Trail Boss???

[Hicksey5]

Anyone see these yet?? They look interesting but don't think they are released yet. Cold Steel isn't known for quality but a 1055 axe might be ok and it's cheap.

Knifecenter shows them in stock. The price is good, but you could get a Wetterlings for about the same. I liked Carbon 5 CS stuff, but I don't think I'd get anything from them now.

The trail boss was the only thing in the new line up that I would consider buying, but I got an Estwing campers axe instead and I'm happy with it.

Picked one up from Knifecenter on Tues. Great axe, good clean fit, handle is finished well and it's rock solid. Used it limbing and bucking yesterday and it worked well. Hate the fact it's China born but it's a good axe. Kinda scary that they are producing good stuff.
The edge needed some stone work but didn't require a file to get it in shape.
Great tool!!

If you get a CS hawk, do yourself a favor and get these handles made for it:
