Rules, please read.
First post or PM gets it, no email or text, must be a valid forum member, please don't post on my wall
Prices include UPS or USPS shipping (USA only) and Fees (PayPal G&S)
I will give an automatic 5% discount for F&F no fee to me payment (PP, Zelle, Venmo) with NO NOTES
Per the new BF Best Practices, I am more than happy to verify who I am and that I have the items in any reasonable way, Goods and Services is always an option for my buyers.
If you are outside the US contact me for a quote and to see if I am okay shipping to your location.
No trades
I will not hold it based on a conditional commitment. Example: "I will take it if...", this is not fair to other buyers.
Happy to entertain solid and reasonable offers or negotiate multiples via PM, not in this thread, but the first commitment gets it.
Important note: I will not be dropping prices in the thread. If you are waiting for reduced prices your best bet is to reach out to discuss. I am happy to listen to offers and package prices.
Descriptions are thorough describing condition visible by my eye, in a well-lit workshop. I can send more pictures, texting will be fastest if you send a phone #.
NOTE ON SHIPPING: I will do my best to ship the same or next business day after payment but in some cases it may take an extra day. I will communicate shipping estimates so there are no surprises.
Thanks for looking!
All of these items include my custom leather. You can find more about me by searching Pirtlemade here on the forums or Google, Instagram or Facebook.
Please be aware, I am an axe, hatchet and hawk fan but am by no means what I'd call a collector. If I have any details wrong or things I should include in the description are not there, feel free to ask or let me know.
Wetterlings Axe
I am the original owner and have had this axe at least 20 years, maybe longer. It was always kept in my truck pack or camping gear and has maybe been used two or three times. I remember when I got it the wood was a little hairy, so I'm pretty sure I sanded it a bit to clean it up and that is visible in the pictures. There are some very light speckles in the finish that would clean up but not really noticeable or a problem. I did hone the edge with a stone at some point and there's a very slight dink in the wood near the eye likely from over penetration. The head is rock solid and there's no sign of shrinkage or loosening. Overall length is right at 25 1/2" and the bit is 3 5/8"
Price includes one of my fully lined custom made head covers, $130 value
$260 Shipped US
Wetterlings Hatchet
I am the original owner of this hatchet as well and it is either a few years older or a few years newer than the axe above, I've had it a long time. This was always in a backup or emergency role of some kind so I don't think I have ever used it, but the edge has been honed. The fitment of the head is super tight with no signs of shrinking or loosening, but fitment of the head is a little wack. It in no way affects functionality.
Price includes one of my custom head covers, $110 value
$240 Shipped US
Council Tool Velvicut Premium Saddle Axe
I believe this is from the first run, I purchased it in July of 2018. I was used for some fire prep on a couple of camping trips and has had a very fine honed edge applied. It was showing some patina so I gave it a light rub down in Oxphoblue just to prevent patina and it gave it a wonderful light blued/bronze finish and has done the trick to prevent further corrosion. These are amazing little hatchets with one edge set at 32 degrees and the other at 25 degrees. The factory head cover left a bit to be desired so I made a very heavy custom one from 14oz English Bridle, fully lined, it slides on from the knob and straps over the top of the head. Not a normal head cover this one would run about $160 to make again. It's included with the sale
(SOLD) $260 Shipped US (SOLD)
RMJ Loggerhead
I am the second owner of this hawk, it came to me new and unused and I used it to limb our Christmas tree a few years ago so it would fit in the garbage can. I added a bit of cordage to the butt to aid in grip. Still razor sharp but maybe some fine lines in the finish but not through to steel. Includes factor head cover, straps and paperwork. The previous owner told me he adjusted the fit on the kydex but I can't really see where.
I will include a fully lined custom head cover that I made rough side out just for a different look, $110 value.
