Beautiful. As a young bloke I got chatting with an old Polish gentleman one time when I was out hunting. He told me that he had been shot with a three barrleed muzzle-loading version of one of these when he was a young bloke poaching. It was a very interesting story.

Nice collection Keith.
Is that a bearded tomahawk I see in there?
I've been thinking of getting this full tang work of art from Winkler Knives.
Then when I finally made the decision to go for it I discovered it's US$600!
I might just plagiarize the shape and make it myself.

I'd be very surprised if you couldn't find one made in Aus. Hand crafted knives etc are pretty popular and there is some really talented people in Australia

I have several tomahawks/Trade axes but none are bearded. The thing to remember is that helves break sooner of later, especially if you are throwing them. Accidents happen. With the round or oval tapered eye of the normal tomahawk, a helve/handle is easy to make & fit in the field, axes needing wedges or handles on full tangs are not so easy to replace. Depends on what your expectations are & if you are prepared to wait until you can get back home to fix it. In a wilderness survival situation you will need to fix it there & then.

That's why I like Winklers designs, they are full tang like a good knife, so even if you mistreat it and break off the handle scales you still have a working, albeit uncomfortable, axe until you replace them or wrap it in paracord etc.
The medic axe pictured shows the full tang better.

No, not really Pete. Within 30 paces is okay. I get much better accuracy from my muzzle-loading fusil, but the laws being as they are, I am not allowed to hang it on the wall ready to hand. The shotgun is quicker to load if I see a boar down on the flats.

I kind of expected as much. If you were so inclined,patched .725 round ball works OK in my brass shells/12g shotgun

Thanks Pete, but I don't want to purchase another ball mould. I do have a conical mould somewhere, I might check that out & see what size it is. But the choke is pretty tight on my BP shotgun & I don't think it will take a ball/conical much larger than I am using now.

I know of one bloke who's shooting .690 minies out of his 12g and getting groups around the 1-2" mark at 50m,so there's hope if that's what you've got.
You'd have to have an extremely tight choke before you'd be worried IMO. Full choke is .690 or 35 thousandths under bore diameter on a 12g. I've shot my .725s out of full choke no worries,as they only have a very small bearing surface

I don't own any handguns but I do like them.
My top three favourites are the Colt 1911A1, the Luger P08 and any Webley.
Those three are sweet :thumbsup:
Nice one Lew

Sometimes you see stuff, and don't realize the size. So been looking for a specific scope since early this year, finally got it, and didn't realize how big it actually is until I compared to my cheap package scope the nikko Stirling 4x14x50

The big ones are huge, eh?

My Hawke 10-50×60 is 570mm long and 900g.

That's with the sunshade of course.
