Best Made Co. is a New York-based company specializing in custom and limited-release axes. While these are certainly more for show than for use, each axe is hand-crafted, made to order, and created out of Best Made’s warehouse in downtown NYC. In celebration of Canada Hockey’s recent gold-medal victory at the Olympics, Best Made has debuted ‘The National’, a 20-piece release in collaboration with Sidney Crosby. This axe has a red and white handle with several series of numbers running down the length of the wood. The “02 28 10” signifies the February 28, 2010, date of the gold medal game; while the “67 40″represents the game-winning goal scored forty seconds into the sixty-seventh minute of the game. Finally, the “87” signifies the number on the jersey of goal-scorer Sidney Crosby. White text across the bill reading “The National” completes this piece. It is available now in extremely limited quantities for $500 one Best Made Co.’s website. Check out one more look at the axe after the jump. Continue reading →
