...and the club says: "If you guys cut up again you're cut off!".

I have to think of something better to say than very nice.

You're gonna be in deep doo-doo if you bring (only) those to a gun- fight!

The way a lot of people shoot Andy could well win with the club and ax.

You are so very correct....
At one rendezvous I did have a few covetous looks at the HBC axe , for the tomahawk toss...but they thought better of it at the end...might have had some "help" there...but I ain't saying....

That said I do use the HBC axe for my camp axe ...it does a great job of making firewood or pounding tent stakes...

Are you forming a club? I've got a couple of axes. But Groucho said it best...

Looks like you have a couple axes to grind. We all can use random axe of kindness.

Not sure if this is an axe or a club.


My grandfather plowed this up in South Dakota over 100 years ago. When I was a boy, it was kept in "the cave" (a stand alone storm shelter/root cellar) on the farm and occasionally used to crack black walnuts. It was referred to as the "tomahawk head". Being a collector of stuff, even then, I asked Grandpa if I could have it so it became mine. He took me down to the creek, cut a small limb, mashed it in the middle with a hammer, wrapped it around the head and in a blatant act of cultural appropriation, secured it with baling wire. I added the leather thong when I got it home. Not authentic but it's a fond reminder of time with my grandfather.

So a ham sandwich goes up to the bar and asks for a beer...
Bartender says:
"Sorry, we don't serve food here"

That is really cool! Can you get some better pics of it?

Sorry Andy, your awesome thread is officially going sideways. Lol.

Had intended to post these in my original comment but doing it from my phone in my shop while running a machine caused some kind of fat finger error and it partially posted early. Partly fixed by editing

That is a very cool relic and reminder of your time with your Granddad...I have seen them cataloged as both a Axe or a Club...

My son likes to razz me about Dad jokes....
"When does a bad joke become a Dad joke?"... "When the punch line becomes apparent."
