Re: Anyone Collect Axes & Hatchets?
I got this hatchet in May and the head was covered in paint and with rust so the maker's mark was a little hard to read, but I could make out Sweden,
I had a hunch from the blue paint before I picked it up that it was from Sweden . Here are the before and after photos of that Swedish made hatchet after a little clean up, sharpening and wood stain on the handle.

Re: Anyone Collect Axes & Hatchets?
Hults Bruk did use that color blue, I would search their history of marks. Nice find, but can not confirm maker.
Re: Anyone Collect Axes & Hatchets?
WARDS special axe damage to the handle. Montgomery Wards stores. red and white handle.
Axe marked B B B hand made with some of the label left. Not sure who made it or sold it?
Not likely I will ever use them.

Not bad idea. Only for collecting, the axes that I use in my everyday life to chop wood for a grill or fireplace are hardly suitable.GSPTOPDOG wrote: ↑Wed Jul 14, 2021 10:30 pmHmmm.... ...

Re: Anyone Collect Axes & Hatchets?
I was thinking it might be an H.B. but I wasn't sure so I left a little of the blue paint on the head just be nostalgic and... maybe help I.D. it later on.

After I got divorced, I decided I still need to have an old battle axe around, so I bought this one.

Re: Anyone Collect Axes & Hatchets?
I assume that Buck has plastic over a metal handle? Not liking the looks of a crack at the head, hit something and not failing?
Re: Anyone Collect Axes & Hatchets?
That is a gouge not a crack, so I am hoping it will continue to hold strong

Re: Anyone Collect Axes & Hatchets?
I have done para-cord wrap and then a resin/epoxy coating over the wrap to add strength. I have also made handles this way. The handles are functional and have held up well.

Cool stuff being posted here!
I finally got my little Ochsenkopf hatchet put together. Had to do a little whittling to the handle to make it fit. Here are some pictures of it.

Re: Anyone Collect Axes & Hatchets?
And then I painted it a little.
I might still stain the unpainted wood with a lighter colored wood stain. Not sure yet.
As far as the stamps go..., I painted over them & then wiped the paint back off with my finger tipps. Turned out pretty good.
Thanks for looking friends!

Nothing to brag about in a while. Went to my first auction in a while yesterday. Got out bid on a very nice Plumb single, not a mark on the poll, and a equally nice Keen Cutter double. I did get this True Temper Kelly Works for $10, and a box lot with the no name double, a brush hook, the yellow snatch block, and a very rusty shingle hatchet, that I misplaced already, so it's not in the pic.

I didn't notice the brush hook was a Collins till I saw the pic.

Hey R.R. how are your dad's and sister's German Shorthaired Pointers doing? Have you broken down and got one yet? You can't go wrong...1967redrider wrote: ↑Tue Nov 10, 2020 3:12 am Really cool axe, GSP!
Incidentally, been meaning to ask if your username is short for German Shorthaired Pointer? My dad and sister each have 2.
