I noticed in another thread that you mentioned you have the early stages of arthritis in your hands; do you find that the octagonal handles are more comfortable to use?
I wouldn't dream of sharpening it for limbing and cutting wood unless I had a dedicated second one.
Nice writeup and beautiful job of making your own handles. Pulaski is my favourite outdoor and campsite tool for dirty work of grubbing roots and stones and splitting firewood. I wouldn't dream of sharpening it for limbing and cutting wood unless I had a dedicated second one. I had to adapt a dbl bit handle to fit a few years ago and did notice that the eyes of these tools are unusually thin, which surprised me. I long ago retired a 'Walters Black Diamond" rendition of a Pulaski and now I'll have to go and have a look to see how that eye was sized. Betcha Morley upsized them.
