Legos are fun!
 I need to get a sheath for the big boy. That pipe hawk head on the 30" handle is the best fit I've ever seen. I take a file to the eye on my hawk heads and I almost have to beat on it to get it off. Attached File |

 Working on new scales for my Toor F13. I think the texture turned out better than I’ve ever achieved. |

A buddy is in town and staying in our guest bedroom, and the first thing he noticed walking in the door was the Sayoc Kali look-alike Winkler tomahawk on display on the coat rack shelf.
 Later we were discussing tomahawk carry, and he mentioned a company I never heard of that makes a VERY expensive CCW tomahawk, Achterknives PDA (Personal Defense Axe). I believe he stated he first heard about them via a Jack Carr podcast. The same guy out of Ukraine who makes the Sayoc Kali look-alike also makes a look-alike of the PDA as well. |

 This one actually is an EDC tomahawk. It goes with me everywhere my backpack does, which is everywhere. The Vandrer Ironside gets some time every week in the backpack too. What do y’all think about a tomahawk display on a living room wall? Tastefully done of course, I’m thinking some Half Face Blades racked on the wall above the couch. My wife says it would look like a frat house. I said frat houses collect Everclear bottles not thousand dollar axes. She was not dissuaded by my facts and logic. |

 Cops called my work and said that someone we helped get arrested got out recently is part of a very large drug gang, and not only are they upset, but the gang is upset. Cops are working with the feds to build a case on recently released. Gangbanger started doing recon on my place of work and the employees the day after they got out. Boss told me to start coming to work very well armed. First aid kit (of which the pictured supplies are just a small part of) is now going with my everywhere, and the Spyderco ‘hawk sits on the sales counter and I use it as a conversation piece to talk about Spyderco knives. AR is either in my cars trunk or just behind the office door off the sales floor. |

I do not like the handle. It is a aluminum core with a plastic over mold. Trying to figure out how to hang it on a hickory handle.

I bought one in Desert Tan from Amazon in 2017 for $62 and did not like it as much as I thought I would; it looks great but it feels like it needs to be about 2/3rds larger.  |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By BURN: How is that bronze holding up.... and if you had to pick one would you go with his steel or a the bronze one? @BURN, the bronze is hardened pretty well, I've struck mostly wood and cardboard, but it's pretty damn impressive. The steel hawk is more practical beyond a weapon (not by much), but the silicone-bronze Empress is a pure weapon. The biggest advantage to the Empress is that it's extremely weather rust resistant; perfect for around salt water, marshes, etc. It would be a tough choice, but as a pure weapon, it would be the Empress easily.

My backpack goes everywhere I do, and I always have a tomahawk in it. A lot of single stick Eskrima and Kali translates very nicely into tomahawk fighting. Been having fun with that for a while now.

The Duclaw is literally my favorite fixed blade.
You can do small knife things with a big knife, but you can’t do big knife things with a small knife. The fact that it’s a big chonky wharncliffe even if the proportions are whack just adds to the romance. You should buy one now. They’re going away soon. I’ve got two more arriving on Thursday. |

 I also bought these and have started building a target from a pallet and 2x6's for a bit of hatchet throwing family fun:  Lastly I have had one of these aircraft crash axes for about 25 years which based on the SN was carried on either a B-24 or B-25 during WWII:  |

A few new additions:
 Attached FileI used the tiny Toor F13 Tommy this morning cutting down some saplings and branches for the burn pit. Handy little guy. I'm actually impressed by the Gerber, that's a very effective feeling breaching tool. The VTAC Model #2 is a little more versatile as a woods cutting tool. ROCK6 |
