Firestone belt axe

I was looking at one of these yet again today and drooling over it.

Man these things are gorgeous and I'd love to have one someday.  Prices are a bit steep, but what a thingreat of beauty!

The Birler is a nice axe indeed, but the Firestone is the Gold Standard, you know?

I didn't know anything about them Grant until your post this morning,
that was the first review I found, they do look very nice but it seems to me the pin is a design flaw but I like the 'idea' of ply handles
It's like they tried to update a small axe without thinking it through or enough testing  :think:

They kinda remind me of something  :whistle:

Never heard of them before.
It looks gorgeous though.
To bad about the bolt design flaw. What where they thinking when they designed that? :think:

Laminiated wood then poking a hole thru the narrowest part  :think:

^^^  :D

Someone clever could come along with a way of laminating the wood together inside the eye with an integral wedge,
no need to drill anything

Sounds like a much better solution. :tu:
