The stone is a little worn down the middle but useable

I wonder if you could turn those socketed thingamabobs into knives like the CS Bushman?

[Sparky415]

Thats a bloody good idea Spork 

I didn't really know why I bought them but they were cheap  you have me thinking now
Ooh and we call them slashers basically a billhook with a long handle

Great zombie apocalypse tool set items.

[Sparky415]

Spork, I guess you mean something like this? 



And I guess if I spend all afternoon in the Garage working on it instead of replacing the legs on my work bench I might come up with one of these   

Thanks for the idea

[Spork, Lord of Lime Jello!]

That did come out nice

It actualy looks better in real life 

Now I've got to do something with the handle

You could mount it on a shaft and use it as a flensing knife...

Well........few weeks ago I went and bought the straightest rake handle from the bunch, sanded and gave it the linseed oil treatment. One end was already tapered to accept a rake, so it required minimal fitting...
My CS Bowie Bushman is now a spear.

I had to google that

You never know...you might come across a Humpback or two at the next Car Boot...and then you'll be glad you had one

Over the years I might have dated one or two

Luckily they seem to have bad eyesight and a poor taste in men   

If anyone was wondering what a Spork polisher looks like, here it is getting a new pulley fitted

Great finds!

[kirk13]

Nice score,really like the look of that axe!

[SAKnight]

Thanks guys 

The bucktool was only $3!!

He had a bunch of knives and guns, but most of the knives were militaria, there was a milk crate of others, where I found these 4. Brought em up and asked what he was thinking. He said 15 for the axe- this scared me as I only had $24. He then looked at the buck 425 and said 2! Hope was restored, though I doubted I'd be leaving with the bucktool. He glimpses it, says $3, then looks on to the roach belly! Says 5. I was ecstatic. Informed him I had $24, he accepted it, and I was on my way!!

He said he'd be open tomorrow too, I'll be back for sure!

[Sparky415]

Absolute bargain 
I think I’ve seen Al’s CS Roach belly, nice knife
and I don’t think I’ve ever seen an axe quite like that before, cool

The cs is a bit 'tin' feeling, though it is a very useful shape, and I've used it already and love it, my first 4116 knife.

The axe appears to be a somewhat crude mod job, but I like it, and it works well. I'll take pics in a sec. I also made a blade cover for it out of a leather tool pouch I bought today to cut up.

[Sparky415]

Ah so it’s been worked, I like a bit of axe modification 
Sheath works

Picked up some more bits this morning
Top right is a nice little Gaz set, cooker and a blow lamp

Inc a draw knife for Rob’s if he has time to pop in here

What's the beige tube on the left?
Nice Wenger! How are the locking models, I've long wondered.

Picked this up today at the same sale for a few bucks, along with an old Stanley/Aladdin thermos stamped 88 (1988?) in great shape for $1!

[Sparky415]

Sorry I never thought to say, it’s a tubular heater, they run at 60watts per foot, great for keeping the frost out of a shed etc

I haven't had a proper play with the wenger yet

Love that Schrade Knife

You guys have a lot of GAZ over there 

We have some products over here but no one wants them because of the lack of fuel cartridges.
