New Belt Axe Give Away from G. Fred & Teresa Asbell

[centaur]

A sheath that would strap on to a pack would be pretty handy.

[mark Willoughby]

Looks like a great addition to a already impressive line up ... put me in would love the opportunity to try it !

[last arrow]

Looks good.  Make sure it is thick enough at the end to Hammer an occasional nail.  Also a nail pulling notch would be nice.

[huckbuck]

Now that would come in really handy.  Good looking to boot!

[BAK]

I like the idea of Mushing out the back edge a bit for better hammering.  Looks sweet.

[ARCHER2]

Oh yeah! I like that!

I think this would make an excellent ax to rough out a selfbow from a stave.  Thin, light, and sharp, easy to control.

[todd smith]

Thanks for all the feedback so far! You all have shared some great ideas. It will be interesting to see the development of this axe and the sheath/s that end up for sale. Thanks again!!  Todd

Very nice rustic look.  Great for use hanging stands and for short work at camp. A belt sheath would be good.  Also maybe a slip sheath on the back of the Asbell haversack.

A sheath that straps to pack or belt and a hammer end is a good idea.

GOOD LOOKING AXE!
Size seems about right.

I'd vote for keeping it one sided...never know when a make shift hammer could be needed.

I prefer a bit of a hook or horn or whatever it's called on the end of a hand axe handle...really helps on cold or wet days especially with thick gloves.

I think having a good sturdy loop on one of the sheath designs would be great...or at least a "belt loop" going the other way so a vertical strap could be used.

Outstanding.

Outstanding.

[lunatic11]

Very nice ! Thanks for your generosity  

[joe vt]

I will be honest and say I didn't read 7 pages of opinions.


I would like to see a hole in the bottom handle to accommodate a leather strap. I have a 4" scar on my right leg as the result of a hatchet that came out of my hand.        


A shoulder sheath could be an accessory item you could carry. And or a hip sheath.

I like the 10" length. Easy to pack and will work decent enough.  

Look like another great product to offer  

[Dry Creek]

I can see where that would come in very handy!

[longshadow]

This hatchet is the perfect size and the chest or shoulder strap is an excellent idea...

Thank you, Alan

[Dennis Allman]

I would keep one of those behind the truck seat.

Took the words right out of my mouth!         Should be a good one!
