[CUTS LIKE A KRIS]

Here are a couple of pics I've been meaning to post for a while (the first one is a repeat).

Double bit made by a local man (the Axe Man):

Feather sticks made by my broadaxe (basically the only axe I ever use seriously)

A Wetterlings and Cold Steel hawk with the broadaxe:

I really need to get more pics of axes done.

its a enzo trapper knife kit

No Bob, you can get a kit, but this one is not a kit. It's just the EnZo blade with my scales, liners, and pins.

old Hardy Bro's double bit from the sixties, new Iltis Oxhead, and some hawks and a STUBIA forged pickaroon

How do you like the Ox Head and what size is it??

i LOVE the oxhead. The steel rings loudly and stays ringing for about 5 seconds. very high quality German steel. I have the large felling ax. The one pictured is an insurance replacement afte rmy other one got knicked from the truck.

A Wetterlings LHA and a Fiskars handy 600. The Fiskars is a great beater. I bought the KaBar out of curiosity. It's not very good

Are those Ka-bars carbon or stainless?
They certainly look nice.
I really don't need another axe/hatchet ( i'm into double digits now )
but.... i want a leather handled hatchet.
probably will just get a small Estwing.

Wow. Now THAT'S and AXE! I only have an Estwing Hatchet.





Um ... I was just on this other website I hang out on, and when you asked for pictures of my axe, I started loading up a couple of shots of my Fender...

After 55 years or so of chopping wood we have a lot of axes laying around I don't know what kind they are but as long as they are sharp they all seem to work about the same. The only full size ax I use anymore is a Estwing. I have several light weight hatchets for camp chores The most used are a Estwing and a Fiskars/Gerber. I have several Hawks.

I wouldn't say it's my most used hatchet/axe, but this Bahco is my most-carried and definitely one of my favourites:

Back home I've got a full sized Estwing that stays in the truck, a couple of newer Gronfors-Bruks that I haven't really used much yet, and about half a dozen various Iltis Oxhead axes scattered about in convenient places (for chopping firewood). Most of the Oxheads have been re-handled by an old guy down the street who re-handles everyone's axes in town.

Nice broad axe! do you hew with it? looks like you hung it with a regular axe handle with a wedge behind the shoulder - did you offset the handle or is it just straight?

It's stainless with 0,3% carbon and 13% chrome, hardness 52 - 54 HRc. Doesn't hold an edge and the ergos are poor, the pommel's sharp corner bites hand. The stock is 0.150 making it very slim indeed, not much weight for power, convex edge...what else...

It's my opinion that You and Fonly will be much better served with other choices.

It's very light and does have a nice look to it though

Those fiskars axes do the job pretty good.
