Iltis Ox-head axes are beautiful tools. The axe head actually rings when you are chopping rather than just making a dull thud (the sign of a quality forged head). Lee Valley Tools sells the splitting axe for $94.

It's been a cold and snowy winter so far. After a number of mild winters, this one is like the ones I remember a a kid (50+ years ago). In Northern Ontario, a little warming isn't such a bad idea

Hope you had a great one youngster

Happy (belated) Birthday :o and congratulations on the great gift!

Daniel - all the best on our shared Birthday. I'm glad you had a great day.

Any request to borrow my knife is followed up by me asking "What for?" That helps avoid most problems. I also carry a Victorinox Driver that I bought (3) on sale for $9.99. This is what gets lent to those who pass the "What for?" question.

I like to think that the 2 I haven't seen for a few years are merely "temporarily misplaced" and will turn up sooner or later. One was my first Native and I just hate to give up on it.

I think the area heated by a heat gun would be too large. The Mastiff's tip regarding a soldering gun/iron is probably best. This would allow you to just hold the tip in contact with the pivot screw, loosening it, without heating surrounding handle material. Jusy proceed slowly. Good Luck!

Wouter - Thank you once more for these excellent preview images. I look forward to this post of yours each year more than any other internet forum event!!

Alex - this knife takes me back to the first postings of your knife designs which we all admired many years ago on this forum. Once again ...

With all respect linuxology, the new Szabo Folder is a real tank!!
