battle axe? you name it...
« on: February 10, 2011, 08:53:02 pm »
Hey Gents
Cut down a mesquite tree had a few pieces left over. I got inspired (and angered) when I broke my old bowie knife. I just couldn't let the pieces go, so tell me what you think.
Thanks for looking
God, honor, country, bows, and guns.

Very cool classic example of using what you got.
If we can't help each other what is the point of being here?

Yup. That thing can put some serious hacks in whatever it hits. Tried it on just about everything but a cinder block.

Thanks for the ideas.
Skull splitter Works for me. Cuz it's kinda medieval meets Native American. ;D LOL

Seriously though, This thing will hack away forever considering the way I set the blade, And mesquite is tough as nails.

Thanks

 That's cool. What was that, A Buck General?

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

Hey Mullet
Nothin that fancy. Just an Arabian style bowie. Went on MANY a camping and hunting trip...Really hated to see it go. But it's got a new life now ;D.
And thank you.

Looks like something that would help you bluff drawing to an inside straight in a poker game.

"Yup, he's got that card in the hole, looks like the pot's his!  I fold."
Guns have triggers. Bicycles have wheels. Trees and bows have wooden limbs.

Hmmmm :-\...I did get dome odd looks when I was hackin a limb off my other mesquite with it. Neighbors just kinda, well.... went inside ;D Hey you make a tool to use, not to set on a shelf

I guess that's what happens when you move a country boy to a big city >:D ;D O:)

Still deciding
