Axe is a Gransfors Bruks Small Hunters Axe.
And thanks to Haraise!
I figured you for a Bruks man. I spent hours coonfingering those things practically every time I went to Smokey Mountain Knife Works...
NO!
I don't think it did anything that bad to you, it looks like the last few minutes of Braveheart there...I tell you what, you send it to me and I'll give it a proper disposal instead of the beheading..:p
Great pics by the way. I'm not a stainless/nickel finish kind of guy but these satin/matte NP3-ish finishes are changing my mind...
I still don't know why I'm being thanked for some 80's stainless thing with old fashioned sights. o.o
Mr Riehl, you and my father have remarkably similar taste - Though my father opted for the 'Small Hunter' axe from Bruks, and in keeping with his love of polished stainless, his Delta Elite is a factory original full-polished stainless model.
Where did you get those custom grips? If they were a commercial offering, I would very much like to purchase a set for my father, as he loves quality wood furniture, and that'd be a nice match for a polished stainless Delta that'll forever remain a treasured safe queen.
Personally, I much prefer a 'working gun' finish such as yours. Any other work done to your Delta? Do you carry it at all?
Tam, I'm a pretty easy guy to read. That said, I'm a Wetterlings fan too. I just like, as some say, "arcane" stuff. The GBs usually have a better balance, but whatever...Quote:

I think that might be a Gransfors Carpenters Axe not the Hunter. The blade/edge on most of the hunter series axes are curved for skinning/caping.
