I won't be totin' that long handled axe very far. I think the axe might be an old reproduction, though it is pretty tough. I peened pretty hard on it with a hammer and later accidentally dropped it on my basement steps and it tumbled down six concrete steps. I jumped to the side to avoid a painful collision with my shin. Took a few small chunks of concrete out .... no damage to the head. It does have the welded in forged steel edge .... which keeps me wondering a little.

Can’t tell for sure, but that looks like a broadaxe with one side flat. I have an antique broadaxe hatchet that I used to make benches out of a log. It gave me a deeper respect for the guys who built log homes.

Corn husks and critters ..... ought to be a fine day for you.
That is one scary knife ! ............ I made the mistake of following Harry's link to the pile side ..... right before bedtime. 😮👿👺
Mine got snatched right out of my shopping cart at checkout. Probably that scoundrel Barrett ( acting like he was watching a movie with his kids ) with his lightning fast souped up phone. 😩;) 🤣

Thanks, my friend! Yes, the weathermen got their act together here in the midwest.

A fine addition to the Northfield Wing of the Old Engineer Knife Museum, my friend! 😉

It’s almost as if they were made to tote as a pair. 👌


Real nice! 🤙

Love that Cammy, and your leatherwork looks great to me.

I just realized that my yellow toothpick fish knife is the one I have had the longest. My Grandpa gave it to me brand new when I was seven or eight, and he was teaching me about fishing. I had to restore it a couple of years ago, because I’d neglected it for decades down in the bottom tray of an old tackle box. Now, it looks like new, and brings great memories of the man who taught me about fishing and about always carrying a sharp pocket knife.

I like how the doc’s office will blame the pharmacy, and the pharmacy will blame the doc’s office. 😏

A very enjoyable and worthwhile way to pass the time, Bob. Did you just get that old jack?

Something was bothering me, but when I turned my phone on it’s side, everything was ok again.It is a new a

Yes it is a new acquisition Jeff. I really have to stop picking up these " stray dogs". My fingers are getting blistered from all the rubbing.

Just like Harry’s Northfield English Jack🤙
Way out of my league, but I get my enjoyment out of seeing these new GECs, and hearing about them ~ so thanks for the view🙂
I’m falling back on these old ones.

🤣🤣🤣

Sorry to hear that you took a look at the pile side right before bedtime, Mr. P. If that ever happens again, you should know that there is a hotline you can call for support — just call 1-800-CRITTER. They are available 24/7. 😂

These Northfield 87s are really nice, mine will get lots of pocket time for sure. I'm enjoying seeing photos of all the others as well, there are some real beauties!
