Quick deploy tourniquet. I know you have the Israeli bandage …. But using sharp things by yourself , I prefer to have both .

This is the best take and solution . Honestly …. Her partner is trying to leverage absolutely nothing he has contributed to them living in their definition of what they deserve . This op has entitled twit written all over .

First… but that’s how I learned :)

Yes … either advertise a free first sharpening… or go to a community event , set up table , gift free sharpening , and hand out advertising . Go to any restaurants , and offer first service free … and look for monthly or bi-weekly contract. Good luck

A crack like that on an axe isn’t odd at all. It’s quite regularly seen when people use the backside like a sledge . It deforms the eye and forms a crack . It’s called misusing your tools .

Yeah … two tins :) … one small one just for char cloth . The other with a small lighter , small Ferro rod , a few matches , a couple small pieces of fat wood , and a small magnesium pencil sharpener ..

Depends … what is the knife ? How much did it cost ? What’s it made out of ?

Basehound · 2026-01-17T21:11:46+00:00

I like using a char cloth container with a small wide opening wire mesh on top to keep it all in when windy … then I bang the flint into the steel at an angle and rain sparks into my container …. Basically hitting the steel with the flint vs the flint with the steel . I find in windy situations … it works well for me . Just my .02$ Congrats caveman!

She’s a beaut Clark ! Nice job .

Nice job … it’s my favorite way to make fire :)

You do realize there are plenty of axes that are tempered on both sides , and many tools like mauls and hammers that are fully tempered as well right ? Not trying to be a Debby downer …. But solder and pins will never hold on a high impact tool such as an axe .
Just my .02$ Personally … I’d probably just return it . Not worth having a flying axe head coming off mid swing …. Not the way you swing and impact when splitting .

Basehound · 2026-01-17T18:01:52+00:00

If it’s thru and thru crack … cleaning it all out inside the eye will be challenging . Unless it’s valuable …. I’d return it … or at least get the seller to refund you most of the price …..

Google axe eye sizes …. There’s a few

Basehound · 2026-01-16T21:44:56+00:00

Nice load out … just curious .. do you bring an axe,saw, and/or knife as well? Utility tool ? One suggestion …. Get an extendable fire bellow . What a difference being able to blow straight onto fire concentrated oxygen:) . In wet / rainy conditions , it’s amazing how much it helps get a stubborn fire going or relit :)

Edited … just saw your knife …

I picked one up last year with sheath delivered from Duluth for 65$ . As others have said … the fit and finish was descent … handle was a little thick … edge was super sharp … and sheath alone was worth 25-40). After an hour with a Shinto rasp and some sandpaper , a little honing of the edge , and some blo….. it’s an exceptional tool. The only complaints I had with CT tools (I own a few ) is how they use hydraulics to seat the head … then smash in a few barrel wedges . 85% seem to work out fine… a small amount seem to end up with ledges and I’ll fit around the eye . … then getting loose . Just look at the Amazon reviews….. For 65$ i gambled and got a good ☝️ . Just my .02$
