This is Josh Clarke's reinforced Head Rifleman's axe. These have been very hard for me to get during the last six months and I had a small group arrived ovee tge weekend

Josh starts with a US made Vaughn Hatchet that have been hand picked for fit finish and handle grain structure.

The head is reshaped ,reground and polished into a close copy of the Origional US War department issue Rifleman's belt axes made in the 1790s. This axe is the Reinforced style head with the added metal in the throat area.

The head is polished , blued and given a razor sharp 25 degree inclusive cuttng bevel. The performance rivals anything coming out of Sweden these days and I believe these heads are actually a bit tougher and less prone to chipping.

The Axe is just 23 oz and is 13.5 inches long. The head is an Iroquois style with a hammer poll . These polls are heat treated and can actually be used to drive metal stakes unlike most axes and hatchets.

The handle is slimmed down , hand sanded and torched .Then it's given six coats of pure Tung oil .The resulting finish is smooth but still grippy. The Axe comes with one of Josh's hand sewn Vegetable tanned leather masks (shown in the second pic)

. The price is $119 shipped leather throat collar

PayPal or USPS MO as payment.

the creed of ignorance,
and the gospel of envy,
its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.

The Josh Clarke Rifleman's Belt Axe is my favorite size and, for the record, they work for a lot more than chopping wood! I love using these to split the pelvis while cleaning deer. Cleaned three in a row and made a PITA job a breeze!!! cool

I have one of each, short and long version. I keep the short one out at the cabin in Idaho for splitting up kindling, beautiful little axe that works awesome.
