I’ve known Tim for a while. We’d see each other at tourneys and, much as I think is the case, he started treating me like a long-lost friend after maybe the second interaction. Hell, maybe after the first one. His…

Tiny Axe Thrower Interview: Marcus Artis (Throwdo Baggins)
I think the first time I met Marcus was at Clutch Shot for a marathon league. He was quiet and very, very good. But he was also hella friendly and had one of the best stickers I’d seen in the…
Axe Maker Interview/Review: Red Beaver Custom Axes
The last* Choptober was more than the closing of one tradition and the beginning of the next. Yes, dear reader, I maintained my own tradition of buying an axe at the event, despite my stupid, pointless belief that I wouldn’t.…
Axe Thrower Interview: Babs, Regional Rep and Sheath Maker

Heaven Sent: The Story of Priesty Axe Co.
Who doesn’t love a creator’s table at a tournament, especially one laden with high quality products? A standard feature at most of the Pacific Region’s big meets is the Priesty Axe Co stall, where you’ll find axe handles, head sheaths,…

I got the chance to speak with Ms. Marvel a day before we got to throw against each other in the Swiss Over tourney (a bracket I had absolutely no business being in) at Urban Open 2025. I learned a…
