It’s a cozy, rainy day here, and I’m popping in to share some pictures from a fairly recent Trail Axe picture session.
This Trail Axe features a Chocolate Brown Hickory handle.
This particular one also carries a Standard Belt Sheath, in the standard Dark Brown color option.
You may also notice that we’ve recently updated some of our models pages with brand new pictures!! Check out the Trail Axe, Carpenter’s Axe, Bush Axe, and Timber Pup pages for new looks!
Thank you for stopping by the blog today! We hope you have a safe, productive week out there.
Hope you’re all staying warm this chilly January. We’ve had a cold snap here, and a bit of snowy flurries yesterday.
This little Kephart recently got to take a trip into the Sipsey Wilderness area in Alabama. This area has many hiking trails across thousands of acres of woods with creeks, waterfalls, and well…wilderness. 😉
The destination on this particular day was the Big Tree, reportedly the largest tree in Alabama. And that tree is big!! It’s a Yellow Poplar, approximately 150 feet tall, and it takes about 4 grown men to reach around it.
Just to give you a scale, that little Kephart has a foot-long handle. That’s a large timber right there! 😉
The Big Tree is nestled in a big hollow, surrounded by a variety of evergreen bushes and trees, as well as two tall waterfalls spilling over from the top of the ridge. There’s also a large rock overhang, which made for a great spot for a fire and lunch underneath.
And of course the Kephart got to do its job there.
It’s amazing how many places of beauty there are right in our backyard or just a short day trip away. This one was definitely worth it!
Hope you have a great week out there, and thanks for stopping by!
Hope you’re having a great start to your week! Things have been a bit busy here, trying to get everyone’s Christmas axes finished up and shipped out in time for Christmas.
Today I’m here to give you a little closer look at the Wolf Valley Forge Kephart Reproduction Hatchet model. The Kephart is based off of the beloved little hatchet that the great outdoor writer Horace Kephart wrote about in his book, Camping and Woodcraft.
Ike’s reproduction of the Kephart “little trick” features a Hickory handle (approximately 12-inches) and a leather sheath with a pull-cord closure.
The specs on the Kephart are around: Head Length: 4-inches Cutting Edge: 2 ½-inches Head Weight: 8-ounces
While Ike’s Kephart standard is a Natural Hickory, it can also feature a Chocolate Brown or Chestnut Hickory handle. We think Mr. Drew’s custom Kephart turned out super cool, with a Chocolate Brown Hickory handle, and the cross-hatching custom option.
The Kephart is a super handy, (might I say cute?) and traditional addition to any backwoodsman’s tools. For more pictures and pricing, you can check out the Kephart’s model page.
In fact, Ike recently released a brand new video giving you a look at the Kephart in use! We hope you’ll enjoy watching.
Thank you so much for stopping by the blog today! Feel free to email us, or leave a comment on this post, if you have any questions. Hope you have a wonderful rest of your Monday!
Hope you’re enjoying a good week so far. Has anyone bagged ’em a trophy yet? We’d love to hear about it.
Today I’m here to give you a few closer looks at a Trail Axe. The Trail Axe is the middle in the sizing line-up of the Wolf Valley Forge models. It comes in either a 15-inch and 16-inch handle options, and has a head weight of approximately 1lb. 2- to 3-oz.
The Trail Axe is a very versatile, multi-use belt axe. Whether you’re splitting kindling, clearing a campsite, or quartering large game, this model is a great choice.
This Trail Axe is shown with a Chestnut-dyed Hickory handle, a Standard Dark Brown Leather Belt Sheath, and the Handle Cross-Hatching and Lanyard Hole upgrades.
For more information, pricing, and pictures, you can check out the Trail Axe model’s page. Thanks so much for stopping by on your Thursday!
I’m popping in today with a closer look at a custom Timber Pup. The Timber Pup is one of the little members of the Wolf Valley Forge axe model group. It has an overall length of about 11-inches and a head weight of 13- to 14-ounces.
Whether you’re splitting kindling, making shooting-lane adjustments, or feeding the camp fire, this little belt axe is super handy as a hunting, camping or backpacking buddy.
Mr. Kenny chose a Chestnut Hickory Handle, Rust-Colored Standard Belt Sheath, and the Handle Cross-Hatching custom option for this little Puppy.
Hope you’re having a great week so far! Thank you for stopping by the blog today. We greatly appreciate all of the interest and support of each of you!
Today I’m popping in to share some pictures of two custom Bush Axes. The Bush Axe is our second largest model, with a handle length of 21-inches and a head weight of 1lb. 6-7oz.
The Bush Axe above has several different custom options. It features a Chestnut Hickory handle, with Handle Cross-Hatching and a Lanyard Hole. It also sports an Extra D-Ring Pack Sheath, with Rust-colored leather.
And the Bush Axe above sports a Natural Hickory handle with a Standard Pack Axe Sheath, with Rust-colored leather.
