Ok, I know you're not supposed to promote your sales on here, but:

I've seen several people asking lately if the MAX was still available, and Andy's directed them to a few sites. If they are unavailable on those sites, I do have one up for grabs on AxeForum at http://www.axeforum.com/community/viewtopic.php?t=1228.

If this post interferes with any rules or regulations, I apologize for the inconvienence, I just wanted to let people know that I have a MAX for sale for those who still want a MAX and can't get one except for the full-custom version. Again, my sincere apologies if this post violates any rules, please feel free to delete it.

Thank you for your time,

No problem.

Josh at PV Knife cleaned us out of Combat Grade MAXes last year.

We'll gladly resharpen it at no charge for you or it's new owner. The sheath for the MAX is solid work by Survival Sheath Systems.

It's a great piece of American Tomahawk history and a great design from legendary Paul Ehlers.
 
Thank you for the polite reply Andy, doesn't seem like a big deal but common courtesy is becoming harder to come by on any of the online forums.

For the record, I did get this piece from PV Knife, ordered it off the internet, got here FOUR days later, I'm in NW Indiana. Pretty nuts. Great service though.

And I agree Andy, I really like the design and the sheath. I had the sheath set up for a strong side (right side) draw with the handle up. To draw, grab handle and push down and forward. You could cut with the back edge on the up stroke in this manner (think point towards ground, bringing tomahawk straight up into bicep or tricep, or throat or chin. Concealed well like this, and the sheath was very well made.

I do like the design of this 'hawk, its just not quite what I was looking for. I'm apprenticing a blacksmith though, and handling this piece has given me some ideas on how to make one of my own (for my own personal use). If I were to follow this design, I'd lighten the blade thickness to 3/16, and drill holes under the handle scales to help lighten it. But man, does this thing pack a whallop. If (well, when) I make my own, I'm gonna go traditional, steel head with a wooden handle, but roughly the same dimensions as the MAX.

And I know I'm praising this piece so highly even though I'm selling it. Lol. It really is a great piece, just not my style, a little...I dunno, ?bulkier? than I expected. Dunno, just didn't click with me. In any case, it is a great piece, keep up the good work Andy!
