Couple more examples ...... You're welcome Warrior, thank you for the prompt !

I appreciate the help

Some folks call that a sling blade I call it a Kaiser knife

Reminds me ..... Remember what Jeffrey Dahmer said to Lorena Bobbit ? Uh ..... you gonna eat that, or what.

I just looked at their website. It looks like Council Tools doesn't make the turpentine axes any more. It sounds like turpentine axes were what they first started making.

"Made in USA” is a phrase particularly significant. This means just what it says at Council Tool – and has, since 1886.

John Pickett Council began making tools for the turpentine harvesting industry in the late 1800s. Mr. Council was a farmer, woodsman and a “producer” of turpentine. A “producer” was one involved with harvesting turpentine for market. He began making tools because he was dissatisfied with the quality of tools available for purchase. Word spread about the value of the tools he handcrafted, and he subsequently found himself selling tools. The business was incorporated in 1886, and it’s been manufacturing hand tools of one type or another ever since.

Council Tool uses only American steel in our forgings, American hickory or fiberglass in our handles, and we use all domestically produced materials and supplies. Before we attach the “Made in USA” label, we make sure ours is a quality product in every respect, that it measures up to our standards, and that it is a product that will represent excellent value for the user."
