The "Red Hunters Axe" by Cegga - second group buy

[British Red]

That has to be the weirdest post I ever made - time to go to sleep!

Hey Cegga - time to stop making BR axes after the next batch and we should do some work on the "other" axe!

Damn,

I've been pronouncing it wrong!

You'll always be Kegga to me Segga



Red (Good question Matt - I never even though of segga) -

Hey Cegga If you go on a long trip - is that a Segga Mega Drive

edit to say - bet that makes no sense in Swedish try googling Sega

Can be so but if you google cegga you find some fine racing cars and maybe some axes to
Cegga

LOL, I imagined the accent and it feels right that it is a soft consonant.

Sorry to have missed this one again....Fingers crossed next time.
They look great

A double bit Nussmuk one would be nice

 

[British Red]

I think so too.........

Just to let everyone know the axes will be posted by Cegga on Thursday. Sick kids and drying linseed have slowed things down (you REALLY don't want parcels coated with wet linseed in the post ).

If thats too slow for anyone, let me know

Thanks for the update Red I'm sure they will be worth the wait

(even better I'm off next week so I should be here when it arrives)

Spoke to Cegga today. They did indeed go off on Thursday. With the vagaries of international shipping I'm guessing next week for delivery - could be sooner but 10-14 days seems the norm for air mail. Slow these planes huh?

There will be one more batch. I have a few that I have promised elsewhere, but I'll try to keep a few for here.

Then its probably going to be the next design (although we may come back to the Hunters axe again if the demand is there)

Don't want it to become a "bore" for Cegga though - some variety is called for. I think you'll like design #2

And it doesn't matter how much I ask, you'll not tell me what the next one is will you?

Out when do you think?

Just so I'm hovering.

BTW I've finished my re-grind on mine and now it really is an absolute marvel. It cuts far above its size and with such precision because of it. I'm quite happy taking off a 4 inch limb and carving a spoon from it, without changing until the crook knife. Fantastic tool. Thanks Cegga and Red again!

 

[British Red]

Glad it works mate - we've gone for a somewhat finer grind on the second batch based on the feedback received - I'll be interested to hear the comments as they turn up. I've ordered one for me too since Longstrider now owns the prototype.

The second one will be a while yet - we have cut steel on it but only fooling with weight and balance - no proper prototype yet. We'll need to get a special handle made too so don't hold your breath. No, we won't discuss it yet - it may come to nothing. I can tell you that the usual rules will apply - designed by me, built be Cegga, development cost swallowed by us. Its an axe design that I believe is simply not available at any price right now, but that is uniquely adapted to the needs of UK bushcrafters. It will be a higher priced item than the Hunters Axe because it will cost more to produce, but, I believe you will like it and think it worth the (still modest) costs

I'm toying with an "entirely new" clothing item too after some interesting recent conversations to go with the "entirely new axe" and "entirely new knife". Hopefully I'll have a prototype up for your comments in the Summer.

I saw Jon Pickett's and Silverback's last weekend....very nice....am I too late for this buy Red?

Cheers,

Bam.

 

[British Red]

I don't post 'em till they are built Bam, then its "first come first served". Seen too many deals go sour on "pre-orders" etc. I noticed another maker went under recently with pre-paid orders sadly. So no, orders, no deposits, no waiting. I post em when the oil is drying, first to pay get em and they get posted within a couple of days

Its not the only way, its just my way

Red

 

[bambodoggy]

No worries Red, you're organising it so you do it your way

I'll try and keep my eyes open for you posting another one then....failing that if you come to the end of demand and have one left then give me a shout.

Many thanks,

Bam.

 

[Aliwren]
