In regard to a previous Quote. url]http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/7001545/Trail/searchtext%3EAXE.htm[/url] - silly cheap but effective.


Dont believe all you read.

I have one of these Axes that I have modified slightly and it is a long way off being cheap...this is a fine Axe that originally retailed at about £20.00 with a hickory shaft and a nice thin blade that carves exceptionally well...I have modified mine to resemble the Gransfors style....but! that was my plan from day one....buy one of these before they sell out as this Axe will last you many many years.

or can you carry one under 18??? i have never needed to worry about it yet...

BTW there is no age restriction on carrying a knife just buying one.
Just at no point say its a weapon and never admit guilt to carrying an offencive weapon and explain why you carrying it.

unless you are using it as an offensive weapon. but dont do that either
