The details including, but not limited to a walnut wedge, perfectly executed chamfered lanyard hole, dressing both ends of the perfectly straight grained handle with a smooth bevel, the dressing of the poll and the amazing quality of the sheath jump right out at you. I was amazed at the product from the moment I opened the box. When I first purchased this axe I wondered how it would compare with my very capable GB Wildlife Hatchet. It seemed as if it would outlive both of us and no doubt it is strong enough to carry the weight of our bond as father and son.
This was IT! This was the camp axe I needed to carry with us, to use as we need and then to pass along to my son when he’s old enough. Step by step with precision and an unmatched eye for detail he would create a tool or a weapon like nothing I’d seen. Watching videos of him heating steal, twisting and hammering it in ways that made no sense and then with just a few more crushing blows with his hammer would reveal the masterpiece already solidified in his mind. Seeing the photos of his axes and knives left my jaw on the keyboard. Then I messed up and found a young man not too far across the state line making some of the most amazing functional works of art I’d ever seen. I found impressive ones made in Sweden that would make the job of splitting wood or felling a small tree quick work. I quickly found inexpensive axes made from typical places around the globe.
Here’s where our microwave society of wants and desires hit a roadblock.
