A while back, Council Tool Company announced a contest to name its new multipurpose survival hatchet. I’m a big Council Tool fan. Council axes, hatches, and fire-fighting tools are drop-forged in North Carolina and they’re examples of the best in American manufacturing. The Velvicut axes are as good as you can get. I wasn’t really sure what this new multitool-axe-thingy was supposed to be, but it was a slow morning so I poured a fourth cup of coffee, lit up with inspiration, and fired off my entry.
Glory be—the APOCALAXE won the show. My prize: A swanky t-shirt that commands: “Get Your Axe Back To Work.” My son, Jack, promptly stole it, and surprisingly, he hasn’t been sent home from school.

Works on Zombies as well.
DeleteSold! :) It really sounds good and imagine it is well worth the price. Thanks.
A hunnert and thirdy four bux ! That sure isn't your Dad's Roselli . . .
ReplyDeleteI just checked that brand and they aren't cheap either.
DeleteDarn thing looks handy and useful. I have an SOG hawk in each of my vehicles, including my wifes and daughters. I can shave the hair off my arms with them after i sharpen them. They split kindling, cut deer bone and look awful mean. I dont care what kind you get, everybody should have some kind of short axe.
ReplyDeleteI guess I should get something more than my machete.
