I got a new Swedish Steel hand axe the other day. It was hand made by a Mr. M. Henrick Knutesohn in a small vilage where he lives and is razor sharp. It has his personal proof mark stamped into the steel, a cat in two parts. I know it will give me good service too should any cats here need adjusting. The tag that came with it read that it should be cleaned with soapy water and oiled lightly after every cat, except birmans. It could go two or three birmans because there wasn't much to them.

I like the proof mark, a sure sign of class.

I recieved some good news yesterday. My Remmy 700 conversion will be on the way next week, an unheard of turn around for a good 'smith. Or any smith for that matter. New barrel, bedding, trigger, action reblued as well...looking like a total of 3 weeks, including shipping. Well, I'm thinking Mr. Savage and make a lot of crat fertilizer with some 85 gr. BT's!

Also got off my dead ass and ordered some dies today, .25-20, .250 Savage, 7x64 Brenneke, and last but not least, some dies for Special. Well, we shall see what we shall see soon enough. One or the other will handle crats, regardless of size I suspect.

So Mr. Sherlock, how is the new axe for throwing. I have an old tomahawk that serves with my Hawkin and it works fairly well.
Also the old Mathews Feathermax with the Muzzy 3 blade hunting points can be kind of nasty. Quiet and deadly! derf

Trust the Swedes for providing tools for crat-destroyers all over the world!

Actually the axe is so sharp you don't have to throw it. Simply dropping a cat on it makes the two pieces part of the instructions operable. Or even just showing it to a less than mature cat. It is like Beowulf's Sword, magical. This is the axe that legends would be written about, if crats could write. Or maybe I will. I'll have to think up a name for it like "die meister zwei-cat macher" or "separate but equally dead", or "cat doubler", maybe even "whammer of N.S.".

Sir, I am glad that you can admit that some good things comes from old Europe. Like a good axe or a GSP!

A Swedish axe need a Swedish name! I suggest "kattklyvaren" - that means "the cat cleaver".

KATTLKYVAREN it is!

Glad to be of service, just note that it is Kattklyvaren, not Kattlkyvaren.

That almost has a Biblical ring to it.

Really, it has a Swedish ring to it. Spelling adjustment made too. thanks for the help there everyone. Been practicing slipping it out of the sheath and showing it to my shoulder mount fox here on the wall of my puter/reloading shack/armory. I have to check for sure I think it may be starting to show a purple glow when unsheathed in the prescence of a bad pussy too. You can never get a Birman when you want one.

I have a "cat adjustment tool"... It has "Stihl" written on the side of it

Holy Cow!!!! Check your Stihls and Huskies too. I'll bet they all have that proofmark of the cat in two parts like my "KATTKLYVAREN".

Just looked, sorry, the guide bar is worn to bare metal, so it doesn't say "Stihl" anymore.

Gotta get a new one, the one on there is pretty shot - Oregon's are looking good for the price...
