Gerber 14inch Camp Ax with a Long Turks head on the handle

So my buddy Gordon, gave me a really cool Gerber 14 inch Camp Ax.  I have been wanting one ever since seeing a YouTube video series about wrapping the handle.  Actually I got the inspiration for my Chilean Corvo handle wrap from the Ax videos.  Well since Gordon came over yesterday and we were finishing up some paracord slings for ourselves, I finished mine and decided it was time to wrap the Camp Ax.  Here is an internet photo, since forgot to take one myself...


So, it is made out of a really nice polymer and is actually hollow.  Making it lightweight and easy to pack around.  These are marketed by Gerber, but actually Made by Fiskars corp. from Finland.  Very good stuff. So I watched the videos again that I got my inspiration from http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL7FBB08198A5B8C6C&feature=plcp (here is the series)

Even with all the colors I have  and that Gordon has I ended up just doing it black..  Hopefully you can see the detail even though it is all black.





 And here is the sling I just got finished with.  Camo and Brown.  Turned out the best out of all so far I think for the ending and being even.
Well That is about it..  My Birthday was last week and my wife Ashley made me a sweet cake that looked like a VW wheel.  I love her and wanted to share this picture as well.
