Title: My new BG Hatchet and my old standby
Post by: Barry Rowland on August 11, 2017, 07:49:21 PM: My son picked up a new BG for me last night for us to use on hikes. So far I really like it. It packs more heft than I thought it would, but is surprisingly thin. I thought I'd throw in a pic of our old standby tomahawk, a repro British proof model I picked up some years back.

I was hoping someone would ask, the lines seem really nice on it.

I picked this up from Track of the Wolf Inc. who stated: Our British Ordnance axe is copied from an original found at a 1755 British camp site in Pennsylvania, and shown on page 100 of the book A Soldier-Like Way by Ryan Gale.

I have some closeups of it which I'll post soon. It's very well balanced and built, and a real joy to work with.
