Jalcon: Exactly, I'm figuring he's mistaking Sal's signature for the Spyderco logo. I could be wrong, but I don't see what else he could be talking about.jalcon wrote:It's on the other side of the blade.

That is a normal PM2, Spyderco logo is on the other side. The 2 logos one the side that are visible are Sal's and Eric's symbolsLaethageal wrote:That's the 2 picture I'm talking about.
Hey, no worries man.Laethageal wrote:Wow sorry just realized that what I thought to be bugged pictogram were on the real knife. **** I think I gave a ****load to a local seller and I was wrong!
The first time I saw the logo I'm talking about is there,on second picture :

Seeing the price I knew it was fake and thought this logo was a common mistake when copying spydies and used it as a reference :S

thanks!JNewell wrote:Wonderful post and pics, thank you! And yes, I agree, there are a few things that axes do superbly but for most tasks there are better tools. :)
thanks! never heard of that type of bird before...we did an overnighter on the same location last weekend and we didn't see any of them anymore.jalcon wrote:That first bird looks to be a thrush possibly..
thanks for the bird id!defenestrate wrote:I'm leaning toward American Robin for #2 bird.
Which is a true thrush.
According to Wikipedia.
Probably all standard American Robins.
(didn't realize Robin was part of the thrush family - I know some birds but I'm far from a bird fancier or ornithologist - just seen some robins here in NC and VA.)

no worries...i bought it from knifeworks - one of the most reputable shops around here.Laethageal wrote:Hey sorry to jump in the thread like this, but the knife in the first few pictures seems to be a copy isn't it?

thanks for the id, ken. i went back there last weekend for an overnighter and didn't see any dead branches to try friction fire but i'm keeping my eyes on it :)kbuzbee wrote:I completely agree. I grew up with it as "tulip" Never heard yellow poplar until a dendrology class in college. OTOH, my wife, who lived only 10 miles from here always called their Magnolia tree a tulip, so tulip may be a locales term that varies? Dunno...
Those yellow polars are very prolific. The seeds "helicopter" like maple seeds but they are kind of barbed and really dig into the soil. I have to clear out about 100 of each from our back wood lot every year... Ugh!

thanks, rodloos! definitely, i'm looking forward to more overnighters in the coming months but i draw the line at only day hiking when it's single digits though, haha.rodloos wrote:Great post again JV! Beautiful colors. I know you love getting out there when the weather turns cold :) .
I just got my GB SFA in last week, but haven't had a chance to use it yet. Nice to see your comparison.
thanks! good job on that axe and that mask looks like a pro made it :)filedog wrote:Great pics, thanks for putting that together. Here's a couple shots of my "SFA". I rehung a Hults-Bruks head of the same weight on a new GB haft, and made a mask for it.
