It's a very versatile axe. The quality of the materials is high and the temper is great.

Nice group you have there Bmatt. I also really like that Council Tool, looks great.

No knives tonight, fellas. But I do have some hatchets and hawks.

Condor Greenland Pattern and Wetterling's Large Hunter's axe:

The Greenland's blade is about a quarter inch longer and one inch taller than the Wett.

My hawks: CS Trail Hawk and Pipe Hawk, and Revolutionary Pole Hawk from Crazy Crow.

With their hats on:

I dig the Revolutionary hawk as well. It's made in India, so it may be hit-or-miss on the quality, but mine is pretty decent. It chops as well as the others, but it also weighs a little more.

Really nice hawk Growling Bear!

PetrifiedWood · « **Reply #111 on:** February 18, 2012, 04:15:58 PM »

That is a nice set of tomahawks. I've had my eye on the pipe hawks for a while but just haven't quite gotten around to buying one yet. They look like a great candidate for some file work.

Here's a couple doubles I'm gonna try to get mounted in the next week or so.

easy_rider75 · « **Reply #119 on:** February 20, 2012, 07:25:31 PM »

Now this I made sort of for laughs but more as a test run to a full size saw this was dubbed the Smurf saw by someone on another board LOL

Used a coping saw blade for it and it actually works pretty well make a good kinda PSK type of saw

Not much to tell. It's an unmarked head about 2 lbs mounted on a 20 inch haft. I use it as a beater in the man cave. Very handy and no worries about its value or durability.

Made this mini mask for my mini axe over the weekend. The poll area is open but all the corners/edges are covered. It's going to be my bag axe, so I just wanted to cover all the metal to protect whatever else is in the bag.

Well, following Tony's post complaining about pictures, here's my hawk, about 70% of the way finished. I don't have any pictures of the finished hawk on-hand, but I'll post some up later. It started as a Cold Steel Trail Hawk...tootsie-pops and all.

My small collection on display in my basement.

Half Axe · « **Reply #134 on:** March 01, 2012, 10:25:08 PM »

Half Axe's half axe:

I had the head forged from 5160 steel to my specifications by a guy in Maine about five years ago. Shortly after I received the head, the guy went out of business, citing health problems, and so I have no contact information for him. It's too bad, he did a great job for me. I've included the original design specification in the pictures. I used a small hickory pick-axe handle to make the handle for it. It was a little bit like work using a hand rasp to shape it to fit. I made the bit sheath and belt hanger. Handle OAL is 22 inches.

GrowlingBear · « **Reply #135 on:** March 01, 2012, 10:35:45 PM »

I really like that 'hawk, Half Axe. It's like a Pipe Hawk blade with a Trail Hawk poll. Very cool design.

Half Axe · « **Reply #136 on:** March 01, 2012, 11:22:46 PM »

Of all my axe gear, it is my favorite and has served me well. Now that I've put the specifications for it out there, GrowlingBear, all you have to do is find somebody to forge one up for you.

Half Axe · « **Reply #137 on:** March 02, 2012, 05:02:17 PM »

Axes for working:

Council Tool Jersey Axe and Council Tool Jersey Miners Axe. I use the Jersey Axe to split three cords of pine every year. I envy you folks that have access to hardwoods.

Two No-Name single bit axes. The one on the left has an "X" mark on one side, the other has no markings. I use them for limbing logs.

Half Axe · « **Reply #141 on:** March 02, 2012, 10:52:20 PM »

It's a modest start, I have a long way to go to get to UTC's level

. Axes are like money, you can never have enough. I keep coming back to this thread and looking through it, the variety is just awesome! I have to be careful not to drool on my keyboard.

What UTC said: Axes Rock!

Highlife · « **Reply #142 on:** March 06, 2012, 08:08:47 AM »

So, i've got a couple of updated pics with the new mask and guard. I had Red sharpen this puppy up for me, and it's niiiice.

Hope you enjoy.

Hewing a spoon out with this puppy. Worked really well.
