The wife asked what Dad day gift our dog could get me? An axe sounded as good as anything, plus owning a nice axe, if cared for, can last a lifetime...So I asked my dog for an axe...This is on its way. ![[Linked Image]](https://s5.postimg.cc/yc6jhr9x3/1_A7_B98_BE-3_CA2-47_B3-_B922-_A56090_FDE332.jpg) Let’s see your favorite axe....😎

My dog is so unappreciative.  He will see this.

Could you post details? IE make/model/price/where to purchase. Looks like a great Father's Day gift.

Hmm, should have borrowed one of your axes and asked the dog for a new rifle instead...😬😎

Let’s see your favorite axe....😎 My meager collection. The old Plumb Cruiser is probably my favorite. It definitely sees the most use. ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/kHXoTEnl.jpg)

I've come to appreciate 36" axes with 3 1/2 pound heads for most stuff. Short axes are like mini chainsaws to me.

Depends on what you're doing.....for serious splitting I use my splitting maul or a sledge and wedges but about the only thing I split these days is kindling for the wood stove and that old Plumb with a 2# head and 28" haft is just right. The hatchets are for camping.
Don......I like that smaller knife at the bottom of your pic a lot.....
Who made it?

Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.

I have more than a few and the Hudson Bay pattern has been a long time favorite and more recently I've been using several Small Forest axe's (Gransfors Bruk & Hults Bruk) in my travels. For bigger jobs I rely on the old Collins.
