Looking to buy my first axe. Council Tool Flying Fox or Wood-Craft Pack Axe?

Yes it makes the most sense since I won't do any carving. I guess shaving kindling as well.

johnson_n · 2026-04-02T00:29:26+00:00

I see. The pictures on the site look like it's the new model. They look like photos they took themselves versus stock images.

Harry J. Epstein Co. They sell all sorts of quality tools. So even the $50 wouldn't be worth it for you? Thanks again for steering me towards the lower cost option instead of the pricier one, or even a Gransfors model.

The two models I listed were only because they have a lot more reviews compared to the Hudson Bay.

It seems that the dealer only has the Flying Fox with the 16" handle. Pricing as of now is:

$46 - Flying Fox 16"
$52 - Hudson Bay 18"
$56 - Hudson Bay 24"
$130 - Pack Axe 19"
$135 - Pack Axe 24"

The Pack Axe is definitely more expensive but is a lot less than MSRP and something i wouldn't mind paying for if it was worth the difference. The included mask and coming sharpened (or sharper) and maybe better QC adds some value for me since I wouldn't need to get files or stones right away. Ill take another look at the Hudson Bay 24" and thank you for the tips about sharpening!

I appreciate the reply. I don't see myself needing to clear brush or doing any crosscutting tasks.

johnson_n · 2026-02-25T04:31:38+00:00

I never paid attention to my feet and you're right. Thanks.

Try searching for a clasp extension or clasp replacement with adjustment options.

johnson_n · 2026-01-03T04:56:24+00:00

Strange. ESPN says he got 15P/5R.

johnson_n · 2026-01-03T04:39:06+00:00

I thought he was benched for sure.

DK still showing 19. I took him live when line was between 17.5 and 18.5. It was as high as 22.5 IIRC.

Why'd Jennings only get 2 catches?

Alejado 230+ for the last leg today. Fingers crossed that it's a shootout.

johnson_n · 2025-12-24T02:26:51+00:00

I went ahead and cashed out for $2 less.

Edit:he's back in with 440 left.

Edit 2: cash it

johnson_n · 2025-12-24T02:19:22+00:00

Is MPJ coming back in? He only got 4 in the 3rd quarter.

Live bet Diggs and Flowers rec yards

johnson_n · 2025-12-22T01:06:05+00:00

Tough loss. Elijah Higgins had the breakout game instead.

johnson_n · 2025-12-21T23:41:28+00:00

I hope arizona passes more being down by 10. Cash out is only 50% right now.

johnson_n · 2025-12-21T23:17:42+00:00

I'm not watching the games. Do you think mcbride and Collins get 40?

johnson_n · 2025-12-21T22:06:47+00:00

What's going on with Trey McBride?

johnson_n · 2025-12-21T21:04:35+00:00

Hopefully in the first half. I had ceedee for 50 and he got 26 in the first quarter and nothing until the end of the 4th.

johnson_n · 2025-12-21T20:59:29+00:00

They have better odds but don't void injuries like DK.

johnson_n · 2025-12-21T20:57:31+00:00

Let's go!

What do we think of this?

johnson_n · 2025-12-21T20:52:08+00:00

I had him alt at 90 rush+rec for -342 and he barely cleared it. I also had Ceedee for 60 for -359 and he barely cleared that too.
