I found a similar 5lb in the same pattern got a 36" handle from wood smith experience. A 5lb is heavy enough you would've needed some muscle to swing a 7lb all day, nice work

For me it would be 2 blades, main fixed blade either a TBS Boar, Mora companion or a Helle BraKar and a Boker techtool 3. Also alway have a axe with me but that's it as for cutting tools

That file work is magic, probably the best i've seen on a knife.

It'd be nice to have a shop full of power at my dispense but I think being limited definitely forces me think outside the box and I think that can be part of the fun. So thanks I can't wait to get some proper use with it.

Cheers!

Thanks, yeah not the best looking but It'll definitely get used. The kiridashi was the pervious knife I made there's a hyperlink to the post where it says "(here)" but it might be hard to see

Thanks!

So I had a go at making a kiridashi as my first foray into making knives (here) and used the blade from an old stanley plane, well I had another piece of steel left over with the intention of making a small carving/utility knife. Here's what I came up with: Length is 6.25", Edge is 2", 2mm...

I had a head with poll damage like that with the first axe I restored I just used a file and a lot of elbow grease at the time but now I've got an angle grinder I wouldn't go back and tbh the axe doesn't get too hot unless you really go hard on it.

That's very true, my most used axe is a £10 brades i restored for carving and splitting small fire wood. That being said I was having trouble finding something in the 2-3lb mark as a middle axe, I've got a heavier 5lb welsh pattern but I wanted something shorter/lighter for packing and I didn't...

Sorry now swapped

That's good to hear, there is definitely an allure to GB axes but so far I'm not displeased I chose the cheap HB axes

Sounds very charaterful, hoping to use mine too soon

So over the last few weeks I've been looking at getting a larger axe to compliment my smaller HB hunting axe with something a bit more powerfull/leverage for small felling. Anyways I was originally looking at getting a Gransfors either a wilderness or scandinavian forest but they are never...

Not sure about GB axes but I was chopping wood with my hultafors hunting axe, glanced the piece and hit the bit into a slab on the floor. It chipped the slab and all I had was a slightly flattened edge. Maybe the GB axes are harder but the OPs seems like it has a fault HT

Depends on what type of axe/length you need, Heinnie's sells hultafors shafts in 15" and 20" I've personally used the 15" to rehandle a brades axe. There's also proadventure which sells quite a few Granfors handles. I believe the company you mention is woodsmithexperience, I ordered a felling...

Have almost the exact same jacket, very good and hard wearing for anyone tempted

Swapped Looking to trade my Flexcut carving jack, it's had very little use hence the trade, the blades are still quite sharp but could be touched but as I have never sharpened them. Leather pouch has a scuff on the front but other than that in good order. Also comes with the stropping block and...

I find etsy great for these vintage pocket knives, you can find some real gems.

I'm quite open to offers but I'm mainly interested in fixed blades (something flat ground I have too many scandi's), maybe a buck 110, also axes old or new. But like I said i'm open to offers.
