I had a customer in Finnland send me a link to a YouTube video he had posted cutting firewood (probably rowan, he says) with his 18" Wrecker. I got his permission to post the video and his comments. His 'hawk has the black oxide finish and tan TeroTuf handles.

Here's what he told me in his e-mail:

"I am very happy with Wrecker tomahawk. I did some testing last weekend. I find that tomahawk cuts very deep in soft wood. Handle is good and I didn´t feel any slippage from hand. Spike is very useful when splitting wood."

I found the use of the spike to split the wood particularly interesting. It's not something that I have personally tried during my testing. Good to see the spike being multi-functional. :)

Not sure what all the white stuff on the ground is, though. We don't have such things in San Antonio. :D
 
That's cool. That's how I've envisioned using the spike on the one I'm waiting on. Glad to see I'm not crazy :)
 
Glock_556 - Oh yeah. Been working a lot on forged work since the end of summer, but I'm about to get another batch of blanks cut. Dealer order and make a bit of progress on orders.

I also spent a few hours yesterday working with a guy who knows how to do CAD, building some new designs I've had in my mind for a while. Will cut a couple of prototypes with this batch if I have enough steel on hand. :cool:
