      Can I axe you a question?

      Looks like a great hawk but not gonna chop like an axe. I carry one similar on my pack when I'm in the woods but I would still prefer an axe for serious wood processing. The weight and shape of an axe makes a huge difference when you need to process fire wood of any real size in a hurry. My hawk...

      Can I axe you a question?

      This might similar in design to the gransfors but I would bet thats a cast head on there. It is defiantly not hand forged like the gransfors burks and nowhere near the quality. Just my 2cents.

      Can I axe you a question?

      I believe these are made by wetterlings. At least some of them are and they are good quality as well.

      bowie knives?

      Try wiping it with mineral oil every so often. This is what I do to mine and it works good. Just do it once or twice a week and you should be good.

      How sharp is sharp

      I'm actually selling the smaller 4 sided bench strop on the top left and 2 of the 2 sided ones on the bottom. I am looking for $30 for the bench strop and $15 for the 2 sided ones.

      How sharp is sharp

      They are really only about 2.75". The extra length and width really makes it nice for bigger blades. Even with the smaller one too cause I can run the blade down the full block and only need a few passes instead of 8 or 10. The final two sides really remove all the scratches and put that...

      How sharp is sharp

      Just figured I would share some of my recent work. Let me start by saying that I have always been a bit skeptical of the whole stroping with leather to maintain my hard use knife edges. I decided I would give it a try for myself and decide if it was really all my brother, grunt soldier, really...

      bowie knives?

      In that price range I would look at Becker knives. The Companion is a nice size blade for an all around type knife and is a solid knife. They are a bit over $50 but for the money they are hard to beat. I personally would reccomend saving up a bit more money and looking at the Esse line of...

      bowie knives?

      Your posts seem so informative. I have witnessed first hand a few knives breaking, grunt soldier can break anything, and it can be very dangerous. Not just cheap knives break but they sure are a lot more likely to under repeated hard use like the op stated he was using it for. Even if you...

      bowie knives?

      What he said. They really aren't gonna hold up to the type of abuse associated with wood processing and all around survival needs. You gotta start somewhere though and for $20 if it breaks your not really out much. At least you can get a feel for what great and useful tools knives are.

      Randall Mini for EDC

      Most people collect them but they are still great knives. I have seen plenty of users that seemed to hold up great.

      Christmas Kiridashi Giveaway.

      Sweet giveaway. Thanks for the chance. My favorite is a Jeremy Horton fighter that my dad owns. My favorite that I own is a close call, probably my Busse BWM, but I do love my Horton folder as well.

      Kydex holster?

      Way better than a fobus. They really aren't in the same league.

      Kydex holster?

      We are local to Indianapolis. Our turn around is usually 2 weeks or less and every holster is hand made by me.
