"Blackfoot Designs Ultimate Hunters Axe" ....... the name says it all.

Take the years of real-world hunting experience of Australias leading hunting outfitter, Dave Grieg, and combine that with the toughest materials picked specifically to optimise performance.......and this is what you get.......

Designed to be compact and easy to carry, while maintaining more than enough heft and strength to split carcasses and perform many chores around the campsite.
The standard axe edge continues right forward around the front face of the axe head, allowing the Hunters axe to be used for additional skinning duties. The hole in the blade allows the user to grip forward to aid in blade control ...... it also allows the Hunters Axe to be used like an "ULU" for food preparation back at camp.
The gut hook is positioned just right for easy "zipping open" of game, and a small portion of the main edge near the hook is left unsharpened to better control of the use of the hook.

The Hunters Axe is convex ground from 3/16" thick D2 tool steel (triple tempered and cryo quenched) it is further zone tempered to increase toughness.
The handle is made from micarta and is secured with stainless steel "Corby"bolts, and epoxy

Some opinions and feedback would be appreciated....
