Happy Thursday, folks! We hope you’re having a wonderful November so far, enjoying “all the seasons” of hunting, hiking, trapping, camping, and spending time with family. While you make all those memories and take all those adventures, we’re excited to host our annual contest once more, which YOU can be a part of!


So bring your camera with you this month because we’re hosting our 2024 Wolf Valley Forge Photo Contest!!


For those of you new here, here’s how it works…

This contest is not about photography skills, but it is about sending in your tasteful photos for an entry into our drawing for a free Wolf Valley Forge Axe, shipped free to your US address! That’s right, you could win an axe here!

We have several categories for your photos, and we will be the judge of how many entries you receive in the random drawing, based on the type of picture(s) you submit. So, here are your options…

  • A photo of your Wolf Valley Forge axe. (1 entry)
  • A photo of you and your hunting trophy. (1 entry)
  • A photo of your Wolf Valley Forge axe with its work (examples – a tree it felled, cutting kindling, a camp setting it assisted with, etc.) (2 entries)

Cell phone photos are welcome! Please do try to make them clear, not blurry, but no professional photography skills required. We just want your photos! 🙂

The fine print…1. Please only send one photo per time/setting/event. You can send multiple pictures, but they need to be from different times. 2. Please specify if you don’t want your picture posted on the Wolf Valley Forge site. We may not post every picture, but we have disclosure to, unless otherwise noted. 3. Preferably photos should be fairly recent, at least within the last couple years. 4. International entries are welcome, but shipping charges will apply. Thank you! 5. Last year’s Photo Contest Winner isn’t able to win again this year, sorry! But we’d still love to see your photo adventures and share them on the website!

Please email your photos to: ike@wolfvalleyforge.com.

The deadline for photo submissions is December 7th, 2024.


We’re so excited about seeing your 2024 axe and adventure photos coming in, and we really look forward to sharing them with everyone!! So, you ready??? Set? GO!!!

It’s always exciting to finish a batch of brand-new Wolf Valley Forge axes and get them shipped off to their new owners. This week saw many headed on their way, and we can’t wait to hear what ya’ll think of them!

These removeable belt loops make for easy on and off and handy carry. We are excited to hear what ya’ll think of this new custom sheath option, which can be added to any of our axe models, but we especially suggest it for the Trekker model on down, due to axe size. (though if you would like to tackle carrying your Canoe Axe on your belt, please feel free to add it to your order in the Custom Options section of the order form. 😉 )
