SHOW ME YOUR AXES

[Ronaldo]

he did not mention that I recall.... I can only assume to keep the handle straight ?? I have a 60's something Collins in the garage right now that appears to have never touched a piece of wood including the original sticker on the head as well as the handle, and the handle is as crooked as a dogs hind leg, again I'm assuming from being stored leaning against something. I could be all wrong here with my redneck logic ??

Seems the head weight pulling unevenly on a hanging handle would have more chance of making the handle crooked than it leaning upright in a corner or against a wall, but that's my redneck logic at work!

I just found an axe like the one posted above. While the style is the same (plasterers axe I think???) its not as pretty with the PO doing a hack-job handle repair welding a piece of steel pipe onto it. Not sure what to do with this piece, but after hitting it with the wire cup wheel, a makers mark appeared revealing the INDIAN make. Never heard of 'Indian' forged axes. I gave it a quick sharpen and it cut kindling quite well. When the PO arrives at the gates of heaven wanting entry someone will ask him about this.....

Wife says nobody collects that stuff. I have been looking for years. Usually have to barter for these or trade. But man am I glad I found this web sight. Somebody that I can understand a little of their language. Great site. The double head is a Collins learned alot here on the site. The Belknap carpenters hatchet is from one of the oldest hardware store that lived.

Welcome to OPE. Very nice collection you’ve got going. I had a Belknap Bluegrass 2.5lb single bit, made a handle for it and gave it to my sister as a gift. I miss it, it cut awesome! Bottom one in this pic, before a cleaned it up and hung it.

Lol! Heck of an offer but I’ve already got a wife, two would be the end of me...ha! If I still had it we could work something out but it now belongs to my sister.

I’ve got a good friend in KY, he’s about 45 miles SE of Lexington. Beautiful state
