Thanks for the input Shlomo. I have a Collins 28in Boys Axe for most of my wood splitting needs. I'm looking for something for some of the smaller chores. I admit part of the appeal of the tomahawk is its old school mountain man/frontier appeal.

Of course that Marbles Safety Hatchet is also quite appealing. I need something that both cuts woos and can pound in stakes. Traditional Hawks have a head that can easily come off. That can be both an advantage and disadvantage.

Really not an easy decision to make.

Hm, I see several potential new groups here: Axes & hatchets, Tomahawks, machetes, Asian blades, kukris...

Nice mod on the Estwing! Right next to the Estwing, is that a Boker? What's the tanto-tipped one in the upper left near the Schrade cutlass-style machete? And I'm really curious how that Kabar Kukri machete has been for you -- it looks unused, but that might be the photo...

hey, thanks yup i moded the estwing, yes a boker carnivore plus sk5 hawk, very tough

that tanto i made it was a south american machete, much longer and flimsy so i took out the grinder and put a tanto tip on it

i love that kabar kukuri, not made in the US made me pause a bit but it has proven to be a good knife
