Thank you sir.  It is indeed a fine little axe, almost hate to use it for fear of scuffing it up.    :bigsmyl:  

If you have that many you're what I'd call axe rich...   :notworthy:

Am I a lucky guy or what?
This afternoon in the office, while working I came back here to check again on my Stic shooter steel,  ;)  and tonight I'll be hitting the road to goose bowhunt with my friend Rob  :archer:  

Can it be better than that?

What kind of axe is that in the pic with the bow?  I've thought if I got heavy into traditional archery I would get into some tradtional "working steel" as well to finish off the look plus it could decorate the house as well  :)

It's a Gransfors Bruks, hand forged hatchet.  They're made in Sweden.  Here's a link...
 http://www.gransfors.com/htm_eng/index.html

If you want something a bit more "traditional", you might want to go with something more along these lines  http://shrewbows.com/shrewhawk/index.htm  . One of Ron LaClair's Shrew Hawks, they're a fine looking tomahawk and by all accounts a good performer.
