I carried a tomahawk while stump shooting. This look  like it would be even more functional. As for the sheath, it might be nice to have a sheath with a strap that could be slung over the shoulder or the strap removed could be attached to your belt.

I agree with everything that nineworlds9 said. A shoulder/chest (or even a back) rig for the sheath would be perfect. Thanks for the opportunity!

I use a hatchet/belt axe every week when I break down and tie up my cardboard for the recycle pick up.  More versatile than a knife.  I can open up any box, score to fold the huge ones, and cut the dragline to bind them up.  Looks like a winner.

I'm wondering if the final design should be a more rounded handle a little larger?

Looks like a great blind builder, treestand trimmer, and pelvis splitter. I would put a small simple edge guard on it, and carry it in my haversack. Great work Fred and Teresa!

One can never have too many axes... and that one looks like a nice little axe for the pack!

It would help if the back edge were thicket so you could drive tent stakes and such. It would add a bit of weight but would make it serve more uses.

An axe like this would have a permanent place in my summer camp kit and ride in my pack during elk season!!
Great work!   :thumbsup:

Nice looking traditional axe. I'd like to see an option for it to come with an ankle strap if possible.

Looks great
can't tell from the picture but a flat/wide back edge for hammering is a plus.

if that had a single bevel it would be about perfect for working staves...  maybe there could be 2 versions?
