These were from both my Granddads which were Loggers. My cousin sandblasted the rust off and I had new hickory handles added. The only name I can see on the axe heads is the double-bit (Master Mechanic).
My father in law surprised me with this. He had some leftover walnut so he thought this would be something I would appreciate. I think it's amazing.

Thanks! I sanded and burned them with a torch to bring out the grain. Put on some watco danish oil to finish them off.
Stihl make some nice axes. I like the metal collar they put on there to protect the handle.
Ya I have the Stihl Pro Forestry Axe but its alil short for splitting at 27" for me. More of a wedge driver and cleaning notch axe so Im lookin for alil better splitting axe
Ya the Stihl Forestry axe I have is Ochsenkopf. Very good quality. The Stihl splitting axe is 99 vs 139 for the Oxhead. Stihl seems a very good deal?
NiceYeah, the Stihl can be found cheaper then the Ochsenkopf.
I had the Ochsenkopf version for a while, got it on sale at baileys with a coupon, worked out to be a little less then the stihl colored one. Great quality axe, split well.
I would like to have one of these, but they are not available in the USA, Canada and overseas only, so far. Maybe stihl will bring them to he USA soon?
