For sale is a Brant and Cochran Forester's Friend double bit main wedge patterned axe that I bought new from B&C when they first released them. If I remember correctly, they were limited to 148 axes to be made but I'm not 100% on how many were actually made. I do know that I waited a few days short of 6 months to receive the axe.

Why did I buy one when I am not in the forestry industry? Easy, who doesn't need a double bit axe? All kidding aside, I've always wanted one but I've never swung the axe, just moved it around in the gun safe. It needs to be in the hands of someone who will put it to good use.
Here are the key specifications:
