    Nice!…looks like you trued up the edge too! Did you make the sheath? That pattern is super handy…took one with me to Somalia, had a longer handle..the only axe in the country. Got a lot of use pointing and driving stakes, clearing brush and other assorted tasks. John

    Yes sir I did true that edge up but no I did not make the sheath but Id love to start learning how to, this one is so tiny , the head was a mere 14 ounces that I reprofiled it to carve, really only meant for small kindling. OAL is only 12" . Perfect tool to keep in a pack or on your hip in a holster.
    Bit & Bark had a good haul this week!!

    I would like a broad axe.

    What my people would have brought when we discovered the Americas, 100s of years before the Spanish peacock that is normally granted that feat.

    With the long handle of course so it would be a Dane axe or if you like battle axe

    Another obsession of mine, vintage axes. Here is my pre 1920 Kellys Finest Tasmanian Dandenong and my early 1950s Collins Camp axe for my 4x4

    You must run around and hunt for goodies like me. I go to garage sales, flea markets, auctions every weekend. I find all kinds of good stuff. Even pcp airguns on very rare occasions. I buy random old airguns all the time.
    If you like to refinish older axes. I’ll keep an eye out for ya. I’m not into them like that. I just buy when they are deals.
    Maybe one day one of us will run into a Kelly Black Raven for cheap 😂

    Never seen those before, pretty sweet! I’m heading to a big community garage sale now. Hope I find some treasures 🤞
