Small Axe Tool ???

[JAfromMn]

I do hesitate to point this one out, it's certainly not a personal recommendation, but it's the only modern style hammer headed 'hawk that I could find without breaking the bank.

I'm sure its way way way out of my budget but its still cool.

I want one

Anyone have a truckers friend

its a little big but for the price 59.99 I could actually use it.

I posted a thread asking the same thing a few months back, there are a few youtube videos. If postage was reasonable to Australia I'd buy one.

Since you started this thread Ive been thinking about grabbing an estwing carpenters hatchet.  I wanted something bigger then found they made a riggers axe.  Had to buy it...   Now to wait for the mail man...

I'm sure you are going to like it Syph007

I went with the carpenter axe because I use it to build stuff and I like the smaller size hammer.

let us know what you think about it after you get it.

Came across this Bahco fibreglass hatchet and it put me in mind of this thread.

I got it a few days ago but didnt get a chance to put it to work until today.  I limbed a bunch of trees in the backyard today.  Its a thin profile blade so its good for that type of work.  I like it!   Im making a kydex quick cover for the blade and I'll post some pics after I get it done.

the Bahco catalog number is BAHHFGS07400, and I couldn't find a US distributor for it. According to their website, Snapon is their main US distributor/contact... Hello price hike.

If shipping wouldn't cost so much I'd ask one of our UK members to get me one.

I think I'm going to get a Gerber pack axe . I know I can afford and find one.

I'm still not going to give up the search

if I hit the lotto I'm going to get one of these http://www.rmjtactical.com/loggerhead/

its what I really want.

I may also get a truckers friend. But I'm going to try the Gerber first.

I did find a couple of Ebay sellers who will post the the US but the total cost would be around $60.

Another option, Cold Steel's Trail hawk. At 24oz. it's lighter than the carpenters axe. Just shorten the handle to what you need.

I do own a rifleman's hawk I keep at work a norse hawk for throwing that lives with my rarely used camping gear.

I've been thinking about cutting down a trail hawk.

I bet the Smurf out of them and I can say they make a decent tool.

I just may do that Rob.

Here's my beat up tomahawks. This is a old pic
