Not much into axes but you guys made me curious. I have the normal small group of pedestrian stuff.

This one was my father's last camp axe. Hults Bruk I believe.

I'm guessing it's around 50 - 55 years old as a guess. I remember sticking the sharp edge a bit into my shin when I was about 15.

It has a 24" handle. I use it in the garage once in a while to split some oversize pieces for the fireplace.

The handle is short enough to miss the ceiling.

Not the best fit in the world when it comes to handles, but I found my old Kelly under some old wood the other day and decided to chuck a new handle on it. I bought the head from a farmer 40 years ago for a fiver. I have no idea of it's age all I know is it's a nice weight for splitting and in my younger years I did use it for dropping trees.

Found this before COVID 19. Thought it was unusual to find German axe in southern West Virginia. I will clean it up sometime and rehang it.

Thanks
