The online community of knife collectors, A Knife Family Forged in Steel
McGowan Firestone
Yeah...I'm a HUGE knife guy. Steel is my thing. And not just on knives. I'm a big gun guy. I also like AXES, Hatchets and tomahawks. Well...after enjoying some dialogue with one of my friends here on iKnifeCollector (Andy), I decided to post a few axe photos. Shown here is my McGowan Firestone Belt Axe. Light, strong...and freaking sharp, this handy chopper does some things that knives simply can't or won't. So...am I that guy out in the woods with the axe, the big fixed blade knife, a couple of folding blades, a multi-tool and a firearm or two? Yup. That's me. I look a bit like a clothed griz with a bunch of pointy pieces of steel sticking out. I probably smell a little better than a real bear, though. Just a little.

Fantastic, and totally new to me. So now I want some axe advice — where do I get the deal on this honey. From an engineering standpoint, the rectangular haft is superior. And plywood may also be superior to most natural handles, if made of the right wood. Very interesting, indeed!
