...I only have two axes now, the others grew feet. <br /><br />My big axe is a Fiskars 2 1/2 pound, 28" cruiser's or boy's axe.<br /><br />The one I use the most is a Norlund hand axe, it has a 14" handle and a 3/4 pound head. It is a Hudson's bay pattern axe which means it looks a lot like a tomahawk. the eye is short, about half the length of a Kentuky pattern ax, an American development. the larger axe you show is a kentuky pattern. my fiskars axe is a not too expensive one due to excellent engineering and has an edge that is nearly indestructable, yet easy to sharpen when needed. It does, however require a good sharp file.Gerry N.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12389938.post-27606894077156941552014-11-24T21:02:52.325-06:002014-11-24T21:02:52.325-06:00Those 28" axes we'd call a camp axe.
