Notes from the underground 2022

 

 

 

 

 The world in which I survive, is a world which I am not able to thrive in. Like a row of dominoes falling, one after another, I was facing the worst moments a person can expect to face in life, but not over a lifetime, but a 5 year stretch of stress and my mechanisms to cope were devastated, old wounds ripped open, as I re-lived past trauma again and again. Fuck this life, all hope is lost and my spirit is broken into thousands of tiny bits.

 The "Bowie" knife name dates back to 1820's-1840's and the Clip point style Bowie knife blade dates back to 1850's. The original Bowie  blade type is up for debate, but most enthusiasts & historians agree that it was large blade with a coffin handle. My two modern inexpensive Clip Point Bowie knives are L-R: the SZCO Black Tech Bowie & the Winchester (Gerber) Bowie.

 I found this Chinese made Tomahawk/Throwing Axe on sale for $20 from Amazon last year. A holster wasn't included, which cut the retail price considerably. It's made of 1055 Carbon Steel with a Hickory handle. The quality and workmanship is quite impressive for such a low price. This item looks to be a close copy of one of CRKT's current Tomahawk's, but about $80 Canadian lower price. I expect this Tomahawk will be my Camp Hatchet for the rest of my life...
