I had a thought (scary as that is). Maybe Brett can jump in here too.

I was going to try to organize a joint BF/KF pass around for a Glen Eagle ax...mine specifically. I am asking openly since it is something I intend to do. I would like to get SIMMS65 (mod on Bark River forum) involved as well and would like to try to get a combination list together from the 2 forums so I could kill 2 birds with one stone. Really wouldn't be too tough given a lot of us folks already flirt between the 2 anyways and have a good knowledge of a lot of the regulars.

Anyways, for those not knowing, this is designed as a hunting ax but makes a sweet camp tool as well. It is very compact, hits hard and is well designed with how you can choke up on it for skinning a cape. The handles are in Amazon Bloodwood. Here are a few pics from a weekend of playing with it and a review I did...

I picked mine up from Derrick (okbohn) at KSF and he still has like 20 of these buggers on his website. I was pretty amazed that there are so many left, hence getting everybody a chance to hold it, love it, squeeze it, beat it, whatever.

I will even send it out with the attached Sharpshooter Baldric sling. Pretty useful for hauling a larger blade/machete/ax around in the woods.

Let me know what everyone thinks of this...it could be a lot of fun.

Jeff,

Go for it! It's all you. start a new thread so folks can sign up. You can use the rules that Brett and I posted as a standard if you like. They work pretty well.

OMG....HOLY COW:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:
That is one efficient Axe !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Did you get any blisters doing that?? :D:D:D
 
I remember a similar kind of design to that being sold by Blackjack as the "Viking Raider" way back. Had a similar sort of handle to the Blackjack Grunt and had a gut hook. I was quite skeptical. Since then I think I've seen Buck offer up something similar.

Mmm, I'm interested in how this one pans out, and its strengths and weaknesses compared to alternatives.

I got a Tiny one on my pinky toe on the bottom of my foot...odd place to get one after all that work indeed. :D :D

Ok Brian, I will get in contact with Simms and get 2 lists going and read over the "rules" that were put forth...just need to find where they are. Any help locating these for me will be greatly appreciated.
 
EXCELLENT! Simms is gonna call me up sometime this morning. This will take a day or 2 to get going with. Should be a lot of fun.
