With a name like Best Made Co. you had better be good at what you do. In fact, you must be the best. I think this small New Jersey based company is off to a great start. I am sure I would have been more productive growing up on the farm if I had to chop wood with one of these bad boys. The only question that remains is whether or not one of these on the wall above my desk will be too intimidating for clients…

The company was started by designer and author Peter Buchanan-Smith and outdoorsman Graeme Cameron. They list Tom Thomson, Lionel Conacher, and Robert Frost among some of their inspiring people.

…always respect your Axe! I’m not talking about Guitar Hero.

Their Philosophy:

NOTHING WITHOUT AN AXE:

Every high-rise condo, luxury office, executive suite, ranch house, and farmstead must have an axe in it. We know that axes shouldn’t only be in the hands of lumberjacks: anyone and everyone should have an axe in their name. Put it in your cubicle, give it to your niece as a graduation present, or your dad for father’s day (or better yet mom for mother’s day), bring it to the company picnic, carry it to the door next time Jehovah’s Witness come knocking, or just lean it up against your living room wall and admire. An axe is indispensable and sublime, the epitome of self-reliance and independence, a perfect design object, a timeless instrument.
