Competition axes

[BigT16]

I am a senior on the university of Connecticut timber team, graduating in may 2012. Basically I am a broke college student looking for a completion quality axe. I would be able to touch it up and hang it myself, so if anyone has an old comp axe their looking to get rid of, or knows someone who does, it would be greatly appreciated and put to good use. Thanks.

Check with Carson Bosworth, he might have something to fit your budget.

I contacted him about 3 weeks ago an he said he had nothing used. I tried to get some other prices out of him but it has been hard to get responses.

I got a nice Keech Timberman from him awhile back for a good price. More of a work/practice axe really, but I'm not good enough to tell the difference or care:msp_biggrin:

Im on a collegiate team and we use those a lot in practice. Ive got a new baileys competition axe for practice, but im looking for something with a little nicer steel to use in competitions.

Have you seen these?
Ox-Head Champion Chopping Axe

Yeah, the team has a couple of them. They are very heavy and don't chop all that well.

Try contacting David Foster the Aus axeman. He may know of someone who is selling a second hand one.
