Are you an....
« on: February 20, 2012, 02:43:09 pm »
...axe man or a big knife man?

When I say axe I mean a pack-able wilderness axe like the the gransfors small forest axe....and when I say big knife I mean big.....something with a 10" plus heavy blade.....or even a parang.....

OR

Do you like tomahawks? 

WHY do you like what you like?

If your talking about what I like to carry when hiking, I usually carry a large pocket knife.  A Buck goliath or a gerber EZ out are my favorites.  A small hatchet is in my backpak and a 9mm on my belt. 
I started out with nothin' and I still got most of it left

I'm not much on big knives. Seems I can get a lot more done with a hatchet. A lot of different jobs too.

Same here Gary.....I like a long knife, just not a "big" one....although....I do have a hell of a parang and bushlore that make one heck of a pair in the woods!

That is what worked for a century or two here in KY....

I have a big knife/heavy knife I like to remove bark from arrow shafts with. I haven't done a lot of this though. My hatchet does the heavy lifting while my pocket knife does the detail work.
