Benton Frisse Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Here's another I just finished for a buddy. You guys are probably starting to get tired of seeing these, but they sell well and they're easy to get a hold of. he wanted just a good camp chopper and something that would throw too. I mounted it on a blacksmith hammer handle because I forgot to size the eye bigger. Ooops. I have to re-hang the handle though, as you can see it cracked up by the eye when I wedged it. I may order a mousehawk handle and see if it fits it? I know Kayne and Son has em' purdy cheap. Or I may just chop it off where it cracked and use the same handle. Thanks for looking!

mitch4ging Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Hey Benton, I missed this one. Looks good! What are you using for a drift? If you have not purchased one yet, you mentioned kayne n sons, but another source is Hawkins knife making supplies, they have polls for full size and mouse, as well as drifts. I purchased my full size drift from imountainforge (the site is Iron Mountain Forge, but to get it to pull up on google, use the condensed version). hope it came out okay! Regards.

Benton Frisse Posted December 1, 2014 Author Share Posted December 1, 2014 Hey Mitch! Thanks for the kind words! I am using Kayne and Sons, but I'll definitely check Hawkins and Iron Mountain forge out! I actually had to strip the handle off of this and ended up carving a handle. Here's how it turned out finally. I'm shopping around for an ax eye drift so I can up my game a little bit. Any special recommendations for those?

mitch4ging Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Well hey, I like how that one came out! Nice job. I have not ran across any hatchet/ax type drifts, but I have not been really looking. Maybe one of these orher folks know, or you may have to forge one out...

MAD MAX Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 I have an iron mountain forge tomahawk drift. It is made of Ductile iron seems to work but its soft. A place called "Track of the wolf" sells handles that work perfectly in hawks made with this drift. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitch4ging Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 I have not tried "track of the wolf" yet, I'll give them a look., but Dunlap wood craft as well as Hawkins knife supply hafts fit well with that drift from Iron Mountain.thanks.
