How many knives and/or axes do you own?

[susi]

Kivät kuvat mutta, voi vittu, ehkä sulla on riitavasti

Recognised an old Mora in there, I've got similar, bought in the 80s, still works.

 

[Finnman]

My old Mora have been used hard more than 20 years now and you can see it´s like a spike now because of constant sharpenings. Now he´s retired and never get used again.

 

[Gaoler]

I no longer feel obsessed with shiny pointy things. Thanks Fellas.
I have
1 mora
1 Nieto fixed blade
1 Sentou Haku
1 Sgian Dhu
1 Leatherman wave
1 Buck Smidgen
1 cheap pocket folder
1 GB Mini hatchet
1 hatchet

I have tried to use this thread to prove to SWMBO that more is better but to no avail.
SWMBO also has
1 Zaloust Klychok
1 original leatherman
1 Millets mini tool (think leatherman mini)
1 hand made swedish knife pendant

I am still working on the if I have one then so can you principle but there isn't alot out there that appeals to her feminine sensebilities.
Just means I have to look harder.

I work as a carpenter, not even going to count my edged tools up but they generally make me money.

Worth every penny.

 

[NikDarkwood]

Small French type socket axe bought in Paris in 1972, Similar modified Bahco french style with trimmed, and thinned blade, old kent type hatchet, 'Strongboy' camp hatchet (like a mini Estwing with a straight handle, Modified Trailhawk, and a modified 'Little Bear' Mousehawk.

For the sort of stuff I do, camp tasks, wedge splitting, and shapping I find the Trailhawk the most usefull.
Overall I'd allways chose a socket axe or a hawk over a wedge fitted handle. Its just a personal thing. The only exception would be big felling axes as I find socketed felling axes tend to turn in the hand
.

So Trail hawk, Fiskars sliding saw and clipper for me as I'm a cheapskate, and a wimp when it comes to heavy packs.

I keep seeing axes like the one piece(2nd from the right). Are they good and worth having?

depending on its intended use, i think the large estwing sportsman's axe is a cool tool.

if i used it to woodcarve i would say it has too blunt a blade angle.

but i use it for general cutting in the woods. it's just about perfect for me.

the trees in my woods are primarily hedge and black locust that sent both GB and wetterling hatchets to the scrap heap.

i've used them to quarter deer, dig holes and cut firewood with. as long as you keep the leather handle oiled they are fine for what they were designed for.
