Today in the News: Just to let ya'll know what to expect this week, Bernard Ten Bears returns with a cool tutorial on knife repurposing and the B&A Stowaway will also make an appearance talking about inappropriate adventure vehicles. I'll be throwing some axes in the mix as well.
Dump Axe Identification Help
Every day people throw away things that they deem useless. No Goodwill, no Salvation Army, just the good ol' fashion refuse. While it drives me nuts, I now work at the dump. I'm not a huge fan of picking off of the pile, but if it needs done, I'm your frickin' guy.

No mushroom on the pole.
And this is the wedge I mentioned before. Anyone know what the company is? I'm sure if I looked I could find it, but I've been a busy, busy man.
Pax Domini Sit Semper Vobiscum,
Mike, Oscar, Hotel......out.
I would guess it was in the "economy" end of the spectrum, from the lack of finish, but the steel might still be good. Only testing will tell.
