Thanks for the great comments guys.

It is part of my regular line now

But in Australia you can only purchase them from Blackfoot Designs.

Peter, Peter, Peter, boy you make some interesting knives. This is not the most versatile design I have seen, but I like it just the same. It does look like it would be a good tool to have along when hiking. Probably be pretty good to take camping as well.

Very cool, it reminds me of an Alaskan Ulu. Neat stuff.

It looks different from the usual stuff but I like it.

Cerberus, ive sent you an email re price.

Blackfoots web is
http://www.blackfoot.com.au
but the Hunters Axe isnt on the site yet.
Dave Greig will be supplying his own leather sheath with his axes.
He is a great guy to deal with too... he custom makes all the hunting clothes he sells, so you can get exactly what you want, and quality is top shelf.

I supply the Hunters Axe with an EVO-style kydex sheath system, that fully disassembles for cleaning.
