Knives or axes whatever

I'm not one to pay so much on something I can easily lose
I've lost dozens of inexpensive knives working in the woods over the year's.
I couldn't imagine losing a 1k knife
My friend at work has a lot of 2-600.00 knives it's nothing for him to be trying to find them when he loses track of them.
I’m not their but they sure are pretty and easy on the eyes.

Bad habit!!
I got them in nooks an crannys
I hadn't even looked at knives in three years since I bought those zero tolerance clones that everyone likes.
Now I see there's all these great designs I want to try out plus different metals
Like d2 and other's that used to only be in custom knives and actions like button locks and front flippers.

I'll get one Iof these eventually I really like the design.
 
I'm 40 miles from the old Kelly's axe factory later in year's it was true temper

These were given to me by a guy that worked there
A old pulaski and a lunchbox special
He called it
The workers would snag stuff and sell it for extra cash
Sadly this one is unstamped.
He has dozens of axes he wouldn't part with the jersey pattern I like.
I knew many people that worked there my cousin's did I have a 6lb fireaxe from Kelly's here somewhere.
 
My friend old eugene bailey retired in the 70s from Kelly axe
He'd been there 30 year's
Kelly's gifted him with a custom Kelly's perfect double bit with a very nice handle
It must of been polished and clear coated they didn't make stainless afaik
It was in a walnut presentation case.
It hung in his living room for probably 20 year's.
He came home one day and it was gone he flipped out and went looking for it
His damn son in law had it cutting brush and had scratched it up and tore a chunk out of the ash handle.
He was so disgusted it was ruined
that he just took the display case down.
Mind you there was plenty of used axes laying around and that pos
Just wanted to ruin the nice one.
 

First two arrived I like both of them
The hao ming is a lot of knife for 16.00 and has a purse with it
Both were extremely sharp.
