Best Made Company makes handcrafted axes in New York City. Yep, an axe-maker in NYC. Looks like they do a pretty nice job too. Founder Peter Buchanan-Smith makes a compelling argument for the handmade and the place of this iconic tool within American history and culture.

I can’t help but think of Ray Mears and a few great segments of his regarding axes. Click here, here, and here for those. Also be sure to check out Best Made’s tumblr.
