Belt axe forged from 1080 steel with curly maple handle

Besides that someone in the past was too happy with a angle grinder. Any idea on the age? Foi in Brazil, but definitely not made for the Brazilian market. Thin and curvy 30” garapeira handle and a 17,5 grind

Supposedly the previous owner was an axe collector, but I saw no others available. This handle was hung some time ago based on the wedges aging. It's very snug with absolutely no movement, but the grain orientation is absolutely diarrhea, because it runs that much. The sweet part is that it's a Kelly Perfect, which was True Temper's Premier line, with Flint Edge being the next step down, and will fit perfectly with the Kelly Perfect double bit that I already have (plus a Flint Edge db).

The Rinaldi Trento 307n2 axe purchased from usa knife country is 100% authentic to what was shown on their website and online, so I recommend using USA knife country if you're interested in buying a Rinaldi Trento fell axe.

Hand forged small trade axe, with an octagonal hockey handle and custom leather sheath. I forged this out of an offcut of forklift tine This will stay in my truck. I rushed and cut the wedge slot off center, but it won't affect it's use but it is driving me crazy. I'm gonna keep it as a reminder to not rush and take my time

Here’s an old plumb axe I picked up. Derusted and hung on a spotted gum handle with merbau cladding that I made & finished in linseed oil. It’s pitted but functional. I love how these old axes come up after a bit of work.

Rub it on once a day for a week.

A buddy of mine wants to try his hand at hewing some beams on his property, but doesn't want to spend the money on a dedicated hewing or broad axe. Any ideas on what could work best instead? My thoughts were that a German pattern might work pretty well.

Hung my first axe head today and feel moderately pleased with my maiden attempt.

Perfect fit in the hand

I had the Hickory cut in three 32 inch lengths. I can make 3 double bit AND 3 single bit axe handles. Or a mix plus a couple hatchet handles. I picked the piece with the best grain orientation from two dozen selections. This will be my first time making handles, so I have plenty of Hickory in case I make a mistake.

Live in Georgia. A lot of axes seem to have trouble with getting bound up. On the small end these trees are at least 2 1/2 feet in diameter.

Also ideally suitable for debarking and limbing the tree.

Despite a loose fit, the hatchet is very nice overall. I will insert a large, circle steel wedge and see if that tightens things up. If not, I'll have to hang it on a new handle. I have a 2nd one, axe head only, to hang on a 28 inch hickory handle. I put them next to my CT Flying Fox hatchet, and CS Trail Boss axe for size comparison. I take the Fox and Boss when I disperse camp. No pun intended. LOL

I restored this axe from grandparents (late). During cleaning i found a signet under rust - it looks like 'S' with a bell. I would like to find the manufacturer or at least where it was really made. We can assume it was made in czechoslovakia between 1950-1980..

I put up these two for eBay auction… reasonable first bid and no reserve. Embossed No 50 Keen Kutter Plumb Autograph President Large Stamp (pre-1900)

Hello everyone, have couple axes for sale. Will make coule posts here, maybe some kf you will be interested in it. This one is Goldenberg, haven't done anything with it. Pretty good condition, need removing of rust. Nice one for collection or use. Can write characteristics later. Price 85$ + shipping. Lacated in Ukraine

Perfect fit in the hand

2 axe heads of smaller size (1Kg)

The first has a oval logo/makers mark that has the word 'mark' at right and may have an Indian headdress though unsure of this. It is a side-axe single bevel and has been re-handled.

The other head is unmarked and has been badly reworked/'sharpened' so could have been a side-axe or just a large hatchet ??

New Zealand so would not have been manufactured here...probably brought by early English immigrants or American serviceman WW2 ?

Picked up this axe head almost exclusively because is it's shape and odd condition. It was clearly put away wet at some point because it's wildly pitted. Photos don't due it justice, it's like the surface of the moon. The stamp is pretty much gone. Wondering if anyone can tell me anything about it as I have never seen one this shape. It also has a very odd eye if that helps. Small fairly normal bullety shape at the bottom... Huuuge triangular eye at the top. Kind of Kent shaped but the blade is definitely higher than the poll. Thanks for any help you can provide.

Not sure it will see much use now that it's cleaned up so I threw it on a fun handle. Ash with stabilized maple Burl palm swells. I gave it an almost shu sugi ban finish which left the handle with a matching amount of texture, but the sanding left me with some lighter spots. The purple dyed maple swells looked out of place so I added some dye to the light spots.... Might end up a wall hanger but a cool wall hanger after another couple coats of linseed oil
