Might have been fluke, or it's because of the small contact surface on the Hudson Bay head design (common issue with HB heads), coupled with how hard I use my axes. Who knows?

Yes I gave him proper axe etiquette advice and hopefully it works next time. It's just an axe though. Suffered no damage to the edge other than making it dull. <br />I am curious how your experience with the HB has been?<br />Any probs?<br />AlRoverAlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10642656735539844230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6994509998330113425.post-36581279065272483362012-05-04T16:47:32.050-06:002012-05-04T16:47:32.050-06:00Thanks Treecare.Thanks Treecare.Rocky Mountain Bushcrafthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07937550302603041228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6994509998330113425.post-91912350351970180492012-05-04T16:40:26.969-06:002012-05-04T16:40:26.969-06:00Very good review.
