300g Dave Budd Hawk

I was lucky enough to get my hands on a DB tomahawk head (well I asked him to make me a small one) and it is awesome, Razor sharp and solid!

Anyway.... I made a handle out of purple heart wood and took some bloody awful pictures of it to show you.

These are in comparison to an SFA

I intend to give it a good run to see how an axe this small will perform

Will feed back if people are interested

Lovely that. I'd definitely be interested to read your thoughts on it.


Sent from my phone.

I like the look of that with the purpleheart.
I think you might be surprised by it's capabilities.My own modest little chopper performs beautifully
and looks to be a similar size.As long as it's sharp it will cut just fine.
Nice looking axe now.
Cheers , Simon

Sharp?!?!

It is sharper "out of the box" than any GB I have owned (which is a few!)

Looks good mate how long have you done the handle?
My favorite axes are small light heads but with quite long handles like the GB outdoor axe which i think is a cracker, i much prefair it to say the GB hatchet that has a small head and short handle
i also like them to have a norlunds hatchet style head.
Very nice

Handle is 15" long.. About 2/3 the length of the SFA......ish

That looks nice

I could do with a light axe like that for my Scouts but maybe not so sharp
