Howdy, howdy everyone!

We hope you’re all well. We’re enjoying some warmer, sunny weather here today, but just the other morning, the fields were white with morning frost (and we had some deer traveling through).

Things have been buzzing around here lately as Ike’s been working hard to get all the Christmas axe orders fulfilled. If you’re interested in gifting an axe this Christmas, but weren’t able to order in time, we wanted to let you know that we do still offer “Axe Certificates,” like the example shown below!

You can place a deposit for someone, and then give them a certificate, letting them know when their axe is due, and what model they’re receiving. (or better yet, you can place the deposit, and then let them choose what they want) We’d be happy to work you up a certificate and send it via email or as a print copy.

Just let us know if we can help. Thank you all so much for your business and encouraging support this Christmas! We hope you have a fantastic day.

Happy Thursday and Happy September everyone! It’s so amazing, but official Fall is right around the corner. That means camping weather, hiking, bonfires, and hunting season!

Today I wanted to share a custom Chipper Axe. This Chipper has a straight handle, without the palm swell, which is something different from the standard model. (our little Kephart hatchet comes standard with its own little straight handle)

Straight-handled axes are sometimes preferred by reenactors, or people who are looking for a more traditional axe look. We’re very happy to make any of our models with that straight handle, so please feel free to ask if that’s something you would like for your axe.
