SHOW ME YOUR AXES

[Wilhelm]

Not my axes, just some I found for sale on eBay.

A Sandvik



A butchers ax?!

 

[Wilhelm]

And, a chromed butchers ax

 

[Sloughfoot]

Got my little 2 1/2 lb hatchet handled. A little large for a 12” but the ergonomics are good.

The one wedge that came with it wasn't enough to do the plus/cross and make it fill end to end. Halfassed it with a piece of oak that wasn't quite big enough to make it fill the eye and match the width of the bigger wedge .

 

[Sloughfoot]

Way easier than choking up on an axe

A couple more hangs from this week. Keesteel 3.5lb mini-tassie on a 32" octagonized house handle, and an elwell 4.5lb tasmanian

Cleaned up an old true temper Red Warrior thinned the handle a bit and burned my mom's Indian name into it. It's going to be her Christmas present this year.

Gonna be sending this kit off

Got it from @Funky sawman
While back, but too small for my bangers…picked up this little worn head a while back that fits nice, good enough for eastern wedging.

Don't know if this is clear enough to see but it is a Winchester axe. I am not crazy for axes but still hope some collector will give me crazy money for it. Comments? Mike

No idea of value but it's cool

Super cool piece. I don’t know much about the value but I’d bet you could do pretty good selling it. How you been buddy?

Todays garage sale find. Germany! as I remember the Ruhr valley is an industrial area of Germany. Comments? Mike

I got myself a Husqvarna axe for Christmas and so far I really like it.
Sets a wedge like a champ, bright orange so it’s hard for me to lose and it’s actually a pretty good splitter.
That being said it’s just a tool, nothing purty like the other axes in this thread

I take mine when I really have to depend on it


I have a ruhr 3lb rafter I really like

I got this one handed to fix.
It was abused as a wedge banger and in Croatia splitting wedges are usually steel.
I am going to grind a V into the crack and weld it, then fortify the top of the head by welding on steel flat stock.
I actually like this ax head style, it is somewhat related to my Dragon Slayer.





It seems to be made out of good steel by the limited wear of the blade.
It is also well centered eye-to-blade.
Must be some old school craftsmanship.

 

[Wilhelm]

The damage.




The heads weight

This has been my favorite splitter for the last few months. She busted up about 7 cords of oak before my handle gave out, cracking at the midpoint of the handle. A bit of a bummer, because I really liked the Amish made handle, purchased on Etsy.

Next hang I'm going to try tdhandle.com

I'm not sure if this would be considered a tasmanian, or perhaps a hosier? Comes in at 4.5lb for just the head with some light blue paint remaining.

Really nice axe! I’ll bet that does split well, good weight and great profile so as not to get stuck.
