Ive got those same axes and they are awesome. The full sized double bit i used on some dry hickory 2 weeks ago and the edges held up great !

Glad to here you're enjoying the Marbles axes, I would have to agree they are a very good value.

One edge is thicker than the other...one side the thick side for splitting the other thin edge is for hewning.

@AmericanOutdoorLiving 2 күн бұрын

Yes, on this double bit is asymmetrical one bit has a longer edge and is thicker, the other has a shorter edge and is thinner. Typically most double bits are symmetric, both bits are the same and you just put two different grinds on it, one thinner for better chopping, and one more durable for knots, girdiling (departing a section of trunk to use crosscut saw, and rooting.

I would be willing to bet if you used it as much as the other saw was used, and it survived the handle would be very comfortable. And dont forget to soak your handles in oil

I strip the vanish of my axe handles and use boiled linseed oil.

@olivertaylor4779 7 күн бұрын

The new one is a basic shape and will do a job or two, the extra time needed to shape it like the old one would cost alot more, so it would make the price of the saw uncompetitive.

@albyshinyfield8841 7 күн бұрын

Sure? It's probably more likely that its shape for ok hand grip and faster for the machine to cut.

This one with the rectangular pan was actually a Herters, which was an old sporting goods dealer like Cabelas from what I understand. But an I have an old Victor stoploss that sets the same exact same.

The jaw tips should be bent up like that to prevent the jaws from coming loose. Better yet, get out your welder and bubble tip the jaws on all your traps

@maxpinson5002 Ай бұрын

Just me- I'll not have any more foot traps without a substantial frame or welding a base plate on the bottom to prevent the frame from flexing. I'm sure no professional by any means, but I've trapped enough to know that anytime I put a trap out it needs to be completely secured and anchored to hold whatever creature might stick it's foot in, and the trap itself needs to be sturdy enough and not weak to allow an animal to wreck it when it fights

@maxpinson5002 Ай бұрын

First I've ever heard of the name. I can attest to the Dukes I have were all weak in the frame and needed base plates welded on the bottom, and the cross frames needed a bead of weld. In fairness, the Victor 1.5's I bought were as weak in the frame and some ears broke off where the jaws are mounted. They welded back together ok, but it shouldn't have happened. Some new Duke B.G. traps I bought a few years ago and put aside broke the welds when I took them out to use a few days back. Brand new, never used just POP ! ! ! and the welds broke trying to set them

@AmericanOutdoorLiving Ай бұрын

Most of my traps are Dukes, as they are pretty much the only brand available near me and are cheap. But they are as thin and flimsy as you can make a trap, should have invested in Bridgers at least.

@maxpinson5002 Ай бұрын

After welding a flat base plate with D- ring they're properly stiffened up and after adjusting the dog and pan they're decent And at least one crunch proof swivel. The swivel is the best practical advice I've ever gotten from experienced trappers. And anchoring any trap as if you anticipate godzilla stepping in it. Always.

Be prepared for that to split again, and be a more surprising end result. I would switch to a hickory handle.

@AmericanOutdoorLiving Ай бұрын

I beleive it is a Hickory handle, as that is the standard wood for handles in the US, but yes it did split later on when I tried to split a piece of wood, hit the edge with the bit, and the wood didn't split entirely and the handle hit the wood.

Every faller (the one who gets the trees on th ground) needs one because every faller needs an axe to pound felling wedges to keep the tree from pinching on the bar on the back cut, and/or to pound wedges to get the tree to actually tip over.

As far as new traps go with a #1 longspring the Duke is a terrible trap I bought a few some years back and they were complete junk.The Bridger on the other hand is a decent trap it has a much stronger spring and better jaw design.Blake and Lamb was the best #1 for the price back in the day those traps would hold coon without modifying them because the spring was monster strong for a small trap.

@AmericanOutdoorLiving 3 ай бұрын

I have a Duke #11 and it is pretty flimsy, the Bridger #1 long springs I've seen in stores do look sturdier as you've pointed out. I do also have a vintage Blake & Lamb #1 longspring where the spring is about twice as strong a a new Duke. They don't make 'em like they used to I guess.

@mark6310 3 ай бұрын

A new Duke especially I would buy helper springs to put on them to make them stronger or any old trap that has weakened a bit to.
