I love my axes.Be careful about axing this fella a question!
I think this is my favorite 550 I've ever seen. I love the scales. Are they G11? Where did you get them?We spent the day on a myriad of small tasks, finishing with a trip up-Cape for our monthly bulk shopping at BJ's. This always entails a lot of cardboard breakdown on our return home and I usually favor a broad FFG blade for that, but I'd pocketed something quite different in the morning and the classic Benchmade 154CM 550 HG blade proved a more than capable weapon to wield against a broad array of bulk food boxes. I ducked out after supper for some late day pics, the light waning considerably earlier as we approach the autumnal equinox.
