Cegga / BR axes - Third Group Buy

[British Red]

There is a small batch of Cegga axes available if anyone would like one?

There are five BR Hunters Axes

http://farm1.static.flickr.com/203/524727836_dd8ef4a404.jpg

The haft is 40cm in length.

Total weight is 650g and the bit is 7.5cm across.

The axe is a light and very portable model - much smaller than a GB small forest or Wetterling large hunter making very portable but still, in my view, large enough for some serious work which I found my mini axe to struggle with.

The conditions of sale

Condition 1.
If you get a customs charge or import duty, you will need to sort that out yourself (I didn't but you might)

Condition 2
This is a PayPal sale - there is no other way this can work due to currencies involved etc. You will need to include your BCUK screen name, real name and shipping address with the payment

If the design is faulty - blame me
Fit, finish, grind, temper, forging standards - blame Cegga (mine is flawless)

There are some great reviews of the axe on this forum – feel free to search for them

Okay so the price for this batch including the axe, mask, shipping and paypal.

£40 to your door.

There are two individual axes for sale as well – one is a “mini” similar to the one Eric bought in the last group buy. This Photo shows a mini against the BR Hunters

This is the axe in question

The last is a new design for Cegga – It has a 50cm helve and a different profile.

Also £40 to your door.

If you want one, please indicate below which style of axe you want

Winners will receive a PM with Ceggas PayPal. Please note the axes will not be shipped until the end of next week to allow time for the helves oil to dry fully

[fredcraft]

Really ? Well, I'm interested into seeing the "new design". Which one is it ?

I'm shoping for my birthday, and this would defenately be in my top choices ! The only thing that I'm unaware of is the customs charge / import duty. Any idea as to where I should look to sort that out (never ordered anything from europe yet) ? Government Customs Canada ?

Thanks for the info !

Fred this is the new one

http://farm1.static.flickr.com/248/523922246_15874967c9.jpg

It has a 50cm helve

I can't help with customs charges - we generally don't get them inside the EU although occasionally VAT gets charged. Shipping would be a bit higher too to Quebec - say add another £10 should cover it

I'll leave you to think it over

I'll leave both as still available until someone says they definitely want one

Red

[fredcraft]

Ok, thanks for the info Red, I'll look into it ! I hope I'll have time to confirm before sunday/monday or else I'm afraid I'll have to wait for a 4th group buy !

Does Cegga even have time to breath between each batch ? :confused: :D

[British Red]

oh, oh, can I have a mini

You can indeed cccc!

Thats the mini and all BR Hunters sold

Just this one left - new design with a 50 cm helve. £40 shipped to mainland UK

Anyone?

Red

[BorderReiver]

Red,what is the purpose of the "new" designed axe?

The cutting edge is at a definite angle and I can't figure out what it would best be used for.:dunno:

[Cegga]

I make the new one when I see that some use the axe to butchering I think that this axe will be good for a hunter thats want to use it for butchering and skining .You can use the rund neck when you skining
Cegga

[British Red]

Sorry - I should have explained that :o

[decorum]

Mis-read numbers earlier. If the last one's I'll have it pleeeaaase.

No probs mate - you do understand though that this is not my standard design but a new one Cegga has worked out as he described here?

[MacFeegle]

Bugger, missed again, knew I should have pulled a sickie this morning when I saw the sun was out.:rant:
Will the butchers axe be the only one available for a while now then Red?
Superb looking workmanship as usual.

MacFeegle.

[decorum]

I'd assumed that this new design is suitable for wood as well as the butchery. Please Red, tell me that my assumption was right.

[British Red]

Wee Free Man

The butchers axe was something Cegga wanted to try having seen Phil and Bent Stick and others butchering with a Hunters Axe. We are discussing what to do next - its likely to be a new design though. The BR axe is likely to reappear in the future if the mood takes Cegga, but its nice to keep things unusual and have a bit of variety

Cegga has some large (50 - 100 piece) batches of damascus to do so his time is limited at the moment anyway

Red

[British Red]

Decorum,

It will cut wood of course. I've not handled it so I can't say how well - its not one of my designs. It is reminiscent of early Goose Wing shaping axes so I can't see why it wouldn't work - its a different style designed to be useful for butchery too.

Can't say more than that - you would need to ask Cegga since its not one of my designs :(

Don't be frightened to say "pass" if you aren't sure its what you want decorum - get the right tool for your purposes!

Cegga

Thank you for the clarification Cegga.:)

[decorum]

Red, you are a gent. From you basic description it seems like I've finally found the axe I've been looking for. :D If I'm wrong, no problem, it wont reflect on yourself or Cegga. I'd still have a Cegga Original :D :D :D
I still want it. Just pass on the needed info.

[Cegga]

I think it will go for wood but it&#180;s have a thin profile so I think this axe are better for a hunter
BR you have a profile pics to don&#180;t you ?? I made it more like a knife than one axe but you can use it on wood .
I have some in SWE that want the axe if nobody want it.
Cegga

[British Red]

I do have a profile picture somewher Michael - I'll get it hosted so decorum can see it before deciding - give me 15 minutes (and get the bags packed - your supposed to be going away)

My son are on one party so we are packed but he flirting with the girl&#180;s soon I live for the weekend. he is 9 year so the party will soon be over I hope :p I go out to the coast every weekend now to rest and fish
Cegga

[British Red]

Sounds great mate (the coast and the fishing - not the flirting :rolleyes: ) Never really been fishing - must try it some time when I can find someone to teach me

Anyway - here is the profile picture decorum - a very thin fine axe with a rounded poll. A "cutter" not a "splitter".

Let me know if thats still a goer (its important you are happy)

[Cegga]

yes if somebody want it it´s a goer .And I are always happy :lmao:
:bye:
Cegga

[decorum]

Thanks to you both Red and Cegga. Profile pic and desriptions confirmed what I thought previously. I've been looking for a thin profiled axe for a long time - a slicer & dicer, not a wholloper. I still want the axe. It's purely instinct that is telling me that this the right axe and if I'm wrong I attach no blame at all to yourselves, you've both acted with the utmost help and integrity.

[British Red]

SOLD to the discerning gentleman (next ones mine Mic')

Incoming PM with payent details decorum

Red

[British Red]

Right Gents - thats it for batch 3!

There will be no more for a while - Cegga has proper paying work to do!

Next release is likely to be a new design just to keep things "fresh"

Red

[maverix]

arghhhhhh....

Not again :D

Just back from 'playing' in the woods, this has to be some kind of punishment ;D

[British Red]

S-orry maverix.

We might do another run of these one day - if there is still demand.

The whole point of what I did here was to introduce Cegga to the Bushcraft market.

I was chatting to him tonight about "what next".

Next is another classic design - a cruiser (Nessmuk) axe.

However I am not prepared to go on as we have been. Each axe that Cegga is selling here is costing &#163;25 plus p&p. Cegga is buying in helves (better than GB ones too), leather, metal etc. out of that &#163;25! I suspect he is making a bit less than flipping burgers on these axes :o

On all future group buys, I am going to set a price that at least means that man makes as much as the "factory hand mades" from us.

I am delighted with the response to these products. That was the point of these initial buys - to get the name known and to understand what people were getting.

I have a Cegga axe here. It cost me much, much less than a good knife - but contains more materials, and manufacturing effort.

So, lots more stuff to come , but I have always done these buys to ensure both parties come out "straight". Now that the "brand building" period is done, future group buys (and there will be plenty if people still want them :)) will be at a higher price to reflect the worth of Ceggas skill.

Thanks for all your enthusiasm guys - I'm sure we all agree that we will play fair in return!

Red

[maverix]

No need for an apology, As someone who is just starting out in a new business I am well aware of the need to 'brand build'.

Best of luck to you both, and to me for when the next batch is released :D

[British Red]

Its for Cegga and you guys Maverix - I make nothing from it - every axe I have had or given to my friends from Cegga has cost me the same as everyone else- even the prototypes.

Its not about money.

Its not about pride.

Its about the spirit of the campfire.


Someone wise once told me that, if I live to give back half as much as him, I will be a honoured to call myself a "bushcrafter"

Red

[Shinken]

Also, i feel it is about keeping the art of craft alive. With this throw away society craftsmen are dying. Throw away items dont have the character of hand made stuff.

Id rather have fewer quality handmade items than lots of characterless vacuum formed "things"

[Tiley]

Damn! Missed the group buy again! I'll have to be more vigilant and more eagle-eyed for the next, newly designed batch.

I do agree with Shinken. We are bombarded with goods nowadays that have a built-in redundancy. Handmade treasures, carefully designed and beautifully made by craftsmen, remain a pleasure forever. A real case of form following function. May the craftsmen and women thrive - they possess skills and patience I can only dream of.

[decorum]

Thankyou both (again) Red and Cegga. Payment sent. Please let me know if I've missed something out.

[Matt Weir]

I woke up earlier with the glowing realisation of just what a jammy git I am.

Thanks Red and Cegga!

I second that ( massive thanks and payment was sent yesterday ) !

I am impressed by the comments about the hardware and indeed about the sprit of the selling.

Thanks gents.

Jammy gits are not wanted here :aargh4: especially smug ones :lmao: . Some people have all the luck. British Red awesome work for organising the group buys and Cegga for the Axes, they are a work of art. Lets hope i have a keen eye and can get one on the next group buy:rolleyes: :D

Whats the point of being eagle-eyed if the next batch is posted at 13:25 again and sells out in an hour while your still at work :(

To be fair I recall the last two first posted at around 8pm. I had the time in mind so I could jump onto the next group buy when it did eventually come around and I was surprised that it happened to be midafternoon myself.

Guys,

I do this as I can to give everyone a fair chance. The last complaint was from someone who only had access to the internet at work and objected to the buys being in the evening. I do this to offer a great product to those I can. Demand outstrips supply since this is a hand made item. Cegga can never make enough of these to meet demand without tripling his prices. So if you get one you are in clover. If you don't, you are no worse off.

I am trying to do something to add to this forum. It appears that this is causing, rather than happiness in those who are lucky, resentment in those who are no worse off than if I spent my time out and about.

I'm happy to spend my time and money on trying to contribute to the world of UK Bushcraft, but the next complaint will be the last complaint

RedHi Red. I can understand other members frustrations at not being able to get whatever is on offer, but I can understand your frustrations even more.

Ive only been a member for a very short time, but even I can see that if you stopped your contributions it would be a big loss to us all.

Its not easy being in the front line (so to speak) and getting all the flack when things dont go smoothly. I know. I run my own company and have to deal with this on a regular basis.

Please dont get frustrated, please dont get disheartened, those of us who cant get whatever it was we wanted will have to be patient! I am convinced that nobody was having a personal dig at you, although I wouldnt mind betting that thats how it felt!

Keep smiling! :)

[British Red]

Thank you Brian, however its getting wearing when each time I invest my own time and money to offer a small number of items which can't satisfy everyone, people feel slighted that they aren't the ones to get them.

For me Bushcraft is about "the spirit of the campfire" - each helping the other and not being resentful when you don't get a bargain item but resenting others for their good fortune.

Red

[Mirius]

I too can understand your frustration and anger at these complaints when you've invested your time and effort. You've demonstrated to me that you are someone that I could only hope to be and I respect what you've done, and while I might say that since I got one of the original batch, I'm hopeful too of getting one of the next generation of axes, perhaps even in damascus ;). Please don't take these to heart, there will always be those for whom frustration is greater than their discretion, especially on the internet where the mental filter that might stop them saying things in real life doesn't seem to work.

[Brian.T]

RedI used to be admin for a weather related website - which I loved being a part of. I used to write articles and the newsletter. I also used to organise meet ups for them all. No matter what or how I did things someone would always find something to moan about. I guess my point is that no matter what you do someone will find fault in it. No matter how much time and energy you invest someone will always find something wrong. I went as far as learning gazzilions about the weather just so that I could advise them (hopefully)

When advice or help is for free, its bloody frustrating!

Calm down mate and carry on with the fantastic offers. OK someone wont be happy, but most members will be over the moon. Thats what matters. :)

Red, I am biased as I was a lucky one who by chance saw the posting, and unlike other times managed to throw my hat into the ring in time. Other swaps and entries in the classified section I havent been in time for and I hope the people who got them liked the items as much as I hoped I would. I cant watch the site all the time and when I am with a customer or on site, then its often a few days between checking the new posts. Not much sensibly I can do about that :-) Its just the way it is.

Its the luck of the draw, but only because people like you make them available.

When we meet, I will certainly want to say thank you to you and Cegga in person ( as I do with a few others on here ), the enthusiasm and interest in helping others to learn and experience things that I feel coming from such a large number of people here is amazing. I know its not easy, my children are so fickle about their interest in anything these days its hard to keep up the battle of trying to show them new things. But once in a while they can see why I get so excited and interested in things.

Like I said I was lucky this time, lunch time / workload and net availability were by chance all together, other times I have missed some great deals, but I have also learnt so much from reading the ideas and comments of others.

Thank you

[British Red]

Just feeling grumpy last night guys! I enjoy the designing and get a real kick seeing people use the gear I arrange the buys for. The trouble is you realy can't please "all of the eople all of the time" - some people get lucky and some don't - and there is no "fair" way of doing it

Red

[Celt_Ginger]

Hi Red. You organise the group buys and it's you who spends the time doing it. It's your baby, and how you organise it and at what time is down to you. If that dosen't suit everyone, then let them organise their own group buy. By the way, can I have about 2 weeks written notice when the next batch is coming out?, lol

[Cegga]

Hey !
Maybe one auction one some ???
Cegga

[British Red]

Maybe we should!

Hey Red,don't even try old son.There will always be someone who'll whine.

You are doing a first class job and spreading a lot of pleasure,enjoy that and ignore the odd whinge.

I just want to say thanks to you all for the buy and Thanks SHINKEN for you no what :offtopic: :You_Rock_
Love to see pics when you get the axe . when you use it
THANKS THANKS :You_Rock_

[Squidders]

There is a fai way of doing it Red... that's errr... the way you've been doing it already ;)

[Spikey DaPikey]

:banghead: Late again ! Oh well, try and try again :)

[British Red]

Gentlemen,

Cegga is currently covered in sticky tape and labels!

The axes will go off tomorrow.

Normal (average) shipping is around two weeks. Quickest ever is 10 days. Slowest 22 days. Given we pay for air mail I have no idea how they keep the planes up that long but there we are.

So, you should all have them before the month is out.

I hope you enjoy them since this is the last planned batch. Our focus will now shift to the next design (the Red Cruiser aka Reds Nessmuk interpretation), although, since the Hunter is such a sweetie, we will probably come back to it one day

Apologies for those who don't have one yet, but I need to play with a new design before ennui sets in

Red

[tinderbox]

Thanks Cegga and Red. I feel like a kid waiying for Christmas.

[Aliwren]

Cegga is currently covered in sticky tape and labels!

Red

:lmao: Your not kidnapping him are you Red!! Next group buy - 1 highly skilled axe smith!

[British Red]

Nope...and yet...in a strange way........

I have a cunning plan..... for a group buy that would make the Precision Field Knife thread look dull.

I'm not sure I can bring it off yet so no details, but, if I can, I could bring all my favourite craftsmen together in an "ultimate" offer. Trouble is it would be a very small run and far from cheap....but sometimes you want to build a Varon not a Corsa......

Red

[Matt Weir]

I was just on the phone to my wife a minute ago and she said 'Hang on, the postman's here'.

:D :D :D

Indeed it is the axe! Safe and sound from Sweden. Can't wait to get home :cool:

Yup mine has arrived in the office. But I am working from home, so will have to wait until tomorrow, which by that time people will really be worried about what I am buying from Sweden !!!

:-) Cant wait !

Cheers Red and Cegga

[tinderbox]

My axe has just arrived, and I'm blown away by the quality of that edge. I've got yet another bald patch on my arm. The haft is just right to be able to drive that edge without resorting to over forceful swings. I'm realy looking forward to putting it through it's paces, but for today I'll just enjoy admiring it in shiny new condition.

A big thank you to Red and Cegga, this is a wonderful item in both design and execution.

[decorum]

:D Thanks Cegga & Red - :You_Rock_ . Beautifully crafted with an excellent balance. I know I've a good'un because my better half doesn't particularly like sharp things & I had to pry it out of her fingers! Once again - thanks. :notworthy

[British Red]

Glad they are turning up guys and dellighted you are pleased. Have fun and play safe!

Red

[decorum]

It's now been out to get wet & tickle wood - a seasoned sorbus log. 1st swing was a 2" slice movement which removed a 4" sliver - how cool is this axe? :Wow:

[warthog1981]

got mine to its excellent big thanks to Red and Cegga :You_Rock_

Nice to see that the axes come to you already .Hope you have some fun with them .

Happy birthday on Saturday mate :D

All the best to you.


Have a great day,

Phil.

Thanks. I'll be the same age as the axe cost so it is destiny that I have it. At least that is what I am telling the wife :D


Cegga - theres normally a three day spread or so in the UK - rural dwellers like me - seem to get post a little later - as do Scotland, NI etc.

I'm hopeful Johns will be there tomorrow or the next day

I would not mind but I am only 10 miles from Glasgow Airport. I bet tinderbox and warthog's axes probably passed my house in a van :rolleyes:

Still I am going away on a canoe trip for a few days from next Tuesday night so as long as it is here then I will be fine :)

[Shinken]

Must have got mine during the week, i was on holiday. (Axe course) And what a thing to come back to. A thing of beauty!!

I really like the design i think it will replace my SFA for most trips and my wildlife hatchet completely.

Very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very HAPPY

Glad you liked it Shinken - Cegga was blown away by your generosity so its important you were pleased.

So, a little bit happy :D

Got mine on Friday but was away for a couple of days (not Bushcrafting) so could not use it. It is superb. My Wildlife hatchet is definitely surplus now.

I will be having a few days off canoeing this week so it will be getting a good test then.

Thanks to Red and Cegga again.

[Shinken]

More than a lot happy! Thanks again to both of you.:You_Rock_

[Cegga]

I've finally had the chance to give my Cegga axe its first proper workout. Whilst on site doing some research (as partially outlined on this thread http://www.bushcraftuk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=22146 ) I was asked if I could cut a stump down to ground level. Yes I know... I bought it with the intention of not using it as a wood wholloper - All best plans of Mice and Men etc. Quite obviously I agreed to help out :D . First comment was 'Wow, that's sharp!' Second was 'Where'd you get it?'. A few minutes later the stump was as close to ground level as I could get. Could I have cut it to ground level? Simple answer is a big resounding.....NO!!!. It was three foot down the side of a half full ditch, added to the problem was that it was partially sub-merged and it's not easy to use an axe safely while you're semi-inverted. Retrospectively I think that I should have asked 'Where exactly is this tree stump?' Truely impressive axe Cegga, thankyou for the opportunity to own it and thanks again to Red for organising the group buy.
To you both - :You_Rock_

[Cegga]

Hi !!
Now I shall have a holyday for 6 weeks and I don&#180;t have any computer where I am. So if there are any problem with the axes I can not answer under this time .You can try to PM Red he have my phone number if there any thing wrong, if he are home . He can give the number. So just call and I stop my holyday to fix it :drive:
A good summer to you all .
Cegga

[Dougster]

I think you'll be able to rest easy in the knowledge that this is VERY unlikely.

Enjoy your well deserved holiday.

One happy customer.

[Gailainne]

I second that, enjoy a well deserved holiday Cegga.

Another happy customer :D

Hi Cegga,
Through your axe you have brought me much joy. Nothing would make me disturb your well earned break. Hope you enjoy every moment of your holiday.
