Hey Everyone,
I've got a brand new, completely unused camp axe that I received from Mr. GL Drew last week. This thing is pretty slick, but I'm just not going to use it (I'm more of a saw guy & knife combo guy).
Here are the specs and the original sale thread:
Forged from 1 inch 1085 square bar stock.
Heat treated with three normalizing cycles for a fine grain throughout the head
Differentially heat treated with the blade at 58-60 Rc; the same as I treat a large chopper style knife. Unlike most axes this edge cannot be sharpened with a file; it is necessary to use a stone "the same as a large chopper style knife".
Hickory handle
Head length: 6 3/4 inches
Cutting edge: 3 inches
Handle 12 inches
Weight: 1 pound 8 ounces
Leather edge guard, not belt loop

The axe is totally unused and is identical to the condition shown in GL's pictures, but here is one of my own just for grins:

I'm asking $190 shipped (CONUS only), please use PP friends & family or add 2% for fees (I'll cover the rest).
