USA-Made Axes for the Rugged Outdoorsman
Happy Monday everyone!
We love getting pictures from customers, to see how their axes are chopping for them. These great shots are of Jeff and Storm’s Canoe Axes.
That’s awesome! Looks like ya’ll are getting lots of great work in. Thanks so much for sharing Jeff. Keep chopping.
Hey there everyone!
We hope you’re enjoying a good August so far. We’ve recently had some soft cool breezes that give a glimpse of Fall coming. Amazing!
We’re super excited to let you know about our latest Custom Option that we just put up today! Introducing…
We’re now offering Leather Axe Collars!
These leather axe collars are made right here in-shop. They have a tight fit, offering an over-strike protection for your Wolf Valley Forge axe handle.
Each collar is made specifically for its own axe, and stitched on by hand.
We’re excited to offer these for all of our axe models! See the Custom Options page for pricing. To add one to your order, just be sure to select it in the “Add-Ons” menu of the order form, or write it into the “Other Custom Options” box.
Thank you so much for stopping by the blog today, and thank you for being part of the team!
Howdy everyone!
It’s a beautiful Thursday here today and I’m popping on with a few pictures to share!
This was a recent custom Kephart that Ike made, and we thought it turned out super cool-looking!
We offer several custom handle options, and for this one was chosen a Chestnut Hickory Handle with Handle Scorching.
For more information about the Kephart Reproduction Hatchet, you can hop on over to it’s own page HERE.
Thank you so much for stopping by today!
Hello everyone!
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.
Hey everyone,
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!
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
If you’re ordering another one of our Pack or Belt Axe models, you can also request a Carpenter’s Axe Sheath for them! One of our customers ordered one with his Trail Axe, and we thought it a super neat combination.
And our last sheath design is the Kephart Sheath. This sheath specially goes with Ike’s Kephart Reproduction axe. This little leather sheath features leather stitching, and a traditional thong closure.
We currently offer two color options for the sheaths – the standard Dark Brown or the Rust-color. Please be sure to choose and specify your favorite when placing your axe order.
Thank you so much for your interest in Wolf Valley Forge and our USA-made products. Please let us know if you have any questions about our sheath options. We’d love to help! Thank you for your support, and please have a nice day!
Happy Thursday everyone!
Can you guess what this means? Yep, it’s a load of kiln-dried lumber! Each Wolf Valley Forge axe is fit with a Tennessee Hickory handle, so it’s certainly a plus to have a load of it on hand. Now it’s ready to cut and shape to someone’s custom, handforged axe head!
I offer the finished Hickory handles in either a Chestnut-dyed color, a Chocolate Brown, or a Natural Hickory finish.
Oh, by the way, the three little Timber Pup handles that are pictured above were part of a photo shoot yesterday…have you seen the new pictures on our Timber Pup belt axe model page? You might enjoy checking them out here!
Thanks so much for visiting the blog today! We hope you’re having a great day out there.
Hello everyone!
Thanks for reading the blog today. We’re just popping in with a couple pictures from a recent batch of Ceramic Axe Sharpening Rods.
These sharpeners come with American Hickory handles, available in Natural, Chocolate Brown, or Chestnut-dyed, just like the axes! When you’re ordering an axe, be sure to look for the “Add-Ons” option in the order form, to add one of these sharpening rods to your order.
Or, if you’d like to order just a sharpener separate, scroll to the bottom of the Custom Options page for an order button just for them.
Thanks so much for looking, and we hope you’re enjoying your March so far!
