A few years ago Sovietski Collections sold a number of Siberian axes and hatchets. I have done a lot of searching and am unable to locate anyone who sells these. Is anyone aware of another distributor for these? Thanks.
 
I bought a pair of these axes abotu 6 years ago, one a little larger than the other. These appear to be meat axes used by hunters to skin and butcher. The catalog said to compare them to Swedish axes, I think I should have bought a GransforsBruks. Maybe if I butchered more than I chopped, the blades are thin so they would be good for slicing/chopping/butchering. They have a rounded poll, some people use this round poll for skinning by hit where the hide meets the carcass while pulling the skin back, one of the blades it slighty off straight with the handle and the handle are a tad thick. they could use some sharpening, the larger one has a siberian tiger stamp in the side of the blade. both have leather edge covers with a snap. 6 years ago I think i paid 28 to 32 for the small and around 39 to 45 for the larger one plus shipping, I slept since then. They are in good shape, a touch of surface rust , minor and some stain on handle from sweat and oils in your skin. The handle are unfinished and kinda think, might want to reshape to your own preferance. I would be willing to sell or trade. Pat

My comp is on the fritz, working on it but spaztik, That is why i didn't post some pics
 
well I don't know what shipping is. I am in an ice storm and driving to and from work it may be the weekend before I get a quote from the post office for Shipping plus $70 for the pair. Pat
 
I am going to have to hold for now. Steve Osborne emailed me informing me that an axe I want will be completed early next week. I have to send him $ asap. Still, if you find out what the shipping is, I would still be interested to know. Could you post a picture. Thanks. Joe
 
sure i understand, only so much dough for the go. no problem.

But seriously my comp is a little freaky, we, my wife an I add 512 more DDr and put in a 320 gig harddrive. When we move our old stuff from the old drive to the new drive I think we corrupted XP. If I try to upload a photo to a forum it shuts down. turn it on and run it some it shuts down or restarts ....so when it learn some new trick i will put the phoot up. but between work,sick kids and a Missouri icestrom tinkering with the comp is down a ways. Have a Great Day:thumbup: Pat
