P-V Mfg Co. Axe

[FortyTwoBlades]

The company still makes and sells Peaveys and cant dogs, etc. but their axes are all Councils with leather edge covers that they make. Come on back to Maine some time! I couldn't imagine living anywhere else. This state is near and dear to my heart.

Ahhhhhh! I sometimes come here just to see mention of Peavy

I grew up in Maine, dad had several nice Snow & Nealley axes and a couple log Peavy's around. Buddy and I cut up a big downed tree for a neighbor in Orono one summer, probably lost money on that deal but we had a lot of fun, and I took both our Peavy's over to Eddington to get them re-handled.

I'm almost sorry to have left them at our summer place when we sold it all and moved to AZ... but I haven't seen a tree big enough to use one on in ages

The company's probably not what it once was, given the way Maine and logging have gone, but its always nice to see they're still kicking.

I've been back once since 1988, I enjoyed the trip but I don't think I could live there again. I liked the winters ok, but I do not miss the black flies (only thing thicker than the outtastata's in the summer ). I really miss fishing for brookies too, we have some good fishing out here, but nothing less than a 2 hour drive from my place.
