Flathead Firefighter Axe

[Blunt Forged Edge]

Here's one that arrived today. Nothing as spectacular like all ya'lls axes I've been reading and seeing here on BF. Nonetheless, this one's still an axe!

What makes you so sure that is doesn't measure up!? Quite a beauty, she is! I am rather intrigued by this.
I agree with Operator, do tell us more about it :thumbup:

Thanks for the link. Nice product no doubt, looks like it is itching to do some damage.

Here's a review that was done by VentEnterSearch.

God it looks amazing and I am also drooling over their JP Special Pickhead Axe.

I love Firefighter's Axes and these look amazing. I will definitely get one someday if I can ever afford to spend that much on an axe. Guess I just have to keep an eye out at flea markets and pray to find a fire axe.

Wow! What a massive poll!

I read the review. I like the hardened poll and the halligan groove.

Here's a demo using said axe's poll end and why.

With axe in hand. (My skinny: 5' 8"@165#)

Side-by-side with the Arvika 5-Star, two of the heaviest axes I have.

Great pics and a great axe there! Im always wanted the firemans axe that has the lock busting prong on the other end, that really is a nice pice of gear, so is that Arvika too!
