[CUTS LIKE A KRIS]

CUTS LIKE A KRIS can you post more pics and or info on your small double bit axe?

Sure can. I don't have many pics on hand but...
It is made for a local man, Claude Leblanc (known as the axe man), as per his specs from Ontario. He makes the laminated handles in many different configurations- I mine has a purpleheart center and I think a wenge outer core but I forgot to write it down and can't be sure (not an expert). As well I can't find where I wrote down the steel type. It cost around $100 at an antique show (he is an axe collector so was displaying/ selling his wares). Blades are about 3.5" long if I recall correctly. Here are a couple of pics:

On my backside:

If you want I'll give you what contact info I have for him (don't have his permission to post it online). I don't know if he has any as I have not spoken to him in over a year, but I know he was making a mid-sized dbl. bit axe last.

Here is some pics from around Taiwan.

I dont know what kind of snake this is, think its a mock viper but i was not sure so i didnt mess with it, i just took a few pics as it went on its way !

Some of the spiders here are absolutly huge, this one is pretty big but i have seen alot bigger

Some of spiders can be pretty cool colours as well

This is view from the "end" of a trail, its usually easier to walk up streams or rivers because the jungle is normaly too dence to trek trough.

Some of the trees can be quite unfriendly

 

[mmmotorcycle]

Wow! Those trees would bite pretty badly!

Here are a couple of my favorite pics from a week long raft trip my wife and I took down the Colorado through the Grand Canyon for our honeymoon (hey, it was her idea, great wife!)


This was a hike up to some ruins on the side of a cliff, always loved the lighting on this one:

Rainbow over the the El Tovar on the hike out of the Canyon. We had just gotten dumped on by a thunderstorm but this rainbow was worth it:

Pic on the rafts:
