And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Man Tool - only exceeded by a double bitted faller's axe
The "sticky" rubber-coated handles make these axes unacceptable for extended wood work. During swing and reset, the leading hand needs to be able to slide freely up and down the handle. Smooth wooden handles are the best. But it is "pretty".
Sorry, CW, but "...only exceeded by a double bitted faller's axe..." is way out there. I have a 4.5# single bit, on a 28" hickory handle that puts that toy to shame, for cutting or splitting. Yeah, I've got one of those, and I like it a lot, but only for specific, limited purposes.
The price on these has skyrocketed in the last two years. Great camp axe, though.
