The mini is a lot more compact than my older Wildlife hatchet.

Stained my old Grandpaw's double-bit and had to get a new handle for my other Grandpaw's single-bit.

It became true temper on Patrick street both sides of the river where kmart is and across the patrick street bridge where trojan steel was it was massive there are great pics on the internet it's hard to imagine how big it was im 46 and remember many of the buildings we would drive block after block 41 acres and 700 men worked at its peak but it was shuttered when i was very young.

my little camp axe is a old union tool company and was made in charleston

 

[Czed]

Many of my older cousins worked they would make their own hunting knives kelly to this day had some of the best metal I've seen i have a couple of the kelly perfect if you see any buy it they are getting highly collectible.

My old friend ed bailey retired from there and they made him a custom double bit stainless steel one of a kind axe and put it in a mahogany framed glass case his freaking son in law took it and cut down pine trees hitting rocks and everything else made ed sick.

 

[dall]

sounds like his daughter picked a winner and needed hit over the head with it

 

[Czed]

They made some kind of single bit big gransfor looking axe don't know never seen one used for truing logs for cabins a dude told me if i ever found one he would pay whatever i asked theres some kelly axe fanatics out there.
They made alot of stuff I've never seen there was no ads or anything i just know that stamp from a mile away lol
