Anyone ever been to the Steamboat Arabia museum in Kansas city? I love to visit there and see the growing display of axes, knives, hatchets, and wood working tools.

This ship sunk in 1856. Headed upriver with 200 tons of supplies for the western frontier hardware stores.

A vast collection of pocket knives, axes of every description, and knives for trade and skinning / butchering.

I learn something new every time. View attachment 746124

There are many styles of axes and hatchets. Most were manufactured in New England. And most have makers marks. As do the knives. Have any of you been here?

I live in Kansas and I went when it first opened - but I was much younger and I didn't have the same kind of interest I have today. I really want to go back.
 
Who's coming to the Great Lakes Knife Show in Beloit, WI this weekend? Here's some of the hotness we will have at the Vulture booth.

A couple of pictures of my FT Camper hawk and Bark River 'Special Hunter' knife. The hawk has done a lot of work, the knife is pretty new, and almost too pretty to use.
