burch,

My Shrew Hawk is always with me. I've had my personal one for twenty some years. If you want something to fell trees than get an ax. If you want something light enough to carry but will still do most any job you need than this is the ticket.



I've always carried mine in a belt sheath but I'm really liking the new Frontiersman sheath carry.

   Is that a Blackwidow Bow Longhunter ?  Looks like either a recurve or a reflex/deflex.  I also love the stick bows. I have a handmade longbow that Byron Ferguson`s son Zach made me and a handmade recurve that I have no idea who made it. I accually found the recurve and had to do some refinishing on it but both shoot really well. I also build my own arrows. Thanks for pics on the Shrew Hawk.  I`ll bet that Turkey wasn`t easy.

No it's not a BW. it's one of my Shrew Scout recurves. check out the Shrew Bows on the website http://www.shrewbows.com/

I just took that turkey last month and it was the quickest turkey hunt I've ever had, read the Gobble Gobble thread on the Hunting Forum

Small axes are available like the Brit infantry axe, and various belt/bag axes, they would probably have abot a 2" cutting surface and a poll there are several around with various names.

  Seems like ya need a bit more than 2" to cut firewood. Are these type axes more for throwing ?

Depends on the size of the wood. If I was using to cut wood for the stove, yes. But for general stuff around a pack-in camp, it works better than you think.

One small hatchet i own that has impressed me is the Mohawk Axe as carried by RE Davis, TotW, etc. Inexpensive, based on 2 original pieces from NY and a real workhorse even though it's relatively tiny.
