Howdy folks! Just a Happy Tuesday and heads up that our photo contest deadline is November 30th, so you have just over a week to get your photos and send them our way. The photos are coming in, and we love to get those shots from each one of you!

This contest is not about photography skills, but it is about sending in your tasteful photos for an entry into our drawing for a 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 November 30th, 2022.

We’re so excited about seeing your 2022 axes and adventure photos coming in, and look forward to sharing them with everyone!! Thank you, folks, for your participation, and we look forward to sharing all of your photos and the WINNER on the 2022 Photo Contest page! Until then, the countdown begins…ready? Set? You can send those photos!

Happy Monday, folks!

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!

Happy Monday everyone!

Hope you had a great weekend. Today we’re here to give you a little run-down on the different sheath options that we have. So let’s get started!

Belt Axe Sheaths

First let’s look at the Belt Axe Sheath options. The Belt Axes include the Timber Pup, The Chipper, and the Trail Axe models. Each of these come with a Standard Belt Axe Sheath (unless another sheath upgrade is chosen).

Another option is the Hand Axe Sheath (as pictured below), which comes without a belt loop. This is an option for someone who would prefer to put their axe in their pack, as opposed to on their belt.

Pack Axe Sheaths

The Pack Axe category includes the Bush Axe and the Canoe Axe. These two models are long enough that they’re not convenient to be carried on a belt, so these pack axes come with a Standard Pack Axe Sheath (unless another sheath upgrade is chosen). They’re ready to strap onto your pack, or pick up and head to the woods.

The Standard Pack Axe Sheath is held together with copper rivets. Another option for the Pack Axe Sheaths, is the Extra Dee-Ring Sheath (pictured below). This sheath has two dee-rings on the back of the sheath to give easy loops for fastening your axe to your pack or saddle. The Extra Dee-Ring Sheath adds $25.00 to your axe order.

The Shoulder Rig

Another sheath option for all the Belt and Pack Axe models mentioned above is the Shoulder Rig. The shoulder rig features a leather sheath for the axe head, and a leather strap that clips onto the sheath. The Shoulder Rig adds $95.00 to your axe order.

The Carpenter’s Axe Sheath

With our Carpenter’s Axe model, Ike introduced a new sheath design. The bit of the axe slips into the leather sheath and it fastens with a push button/cord closure. Each of the Carpenter’s Axes come with this sheath design.
