Title: Hammer pole pack axes
Post by: srtben on February 06, 2015, 08:23:00 PM
Hey guys I decided it was time to do a spikeless version of my Peregrine Tomahawk, and I am super stoked with how they came out. I decided to do smooth handles as well, just to mix it up. : )
These are built with 3/8" 4140. They are through hardened and then I spring temper the tang for extra toughness. Although beefy, they are quite well balanced and pack a lot of punch. The first one has orange G10 scales, and I hand filed a couple grooves on the top half for extra grip. The black one is Tero Tuf, one of my favorite hawk handle materials. The scales are attached using both G/flex epoxy and flared stainless tubes.

You would have a hard time losing the orange one in the woods.    :D  


Thanks for looking!!
