Hello everyone,

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.

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.

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.
