SHOW ME YOUR AXES

[jakethesnake]

I hear they’re good splitters. Is that a pin through the handle? I’m all but done firewood for the year but I may just have to have one. I too use a belt on axes.

 

[jakethesnake]

I see you’re in Alaska. Are they available there or did you dip into Canada for it?

They don't come drilled for a pin so you need to do that yourself (if you want the security). The axe was a work gift but I believe it was purchased from a Canadian supplier. I'm not aware of any US suppliers atm.
Here is one supplier: https://bigbeartools.com/store/outd...cing-Axe-Pattern/p/28337916/category=19055026

That's a badass work gift. Is your company hiring remotely stationed employees? lol

Heh, heh, there's the expectation that I actually use it for work purposes and not just hang it on the wall.
