COOL CHART! ................
THANKS FOR POSTING IT!!!!

WOW Scott!!......what a fantastic find!! Good decision on keeping that one.... ...

IM

Thanks Trevor!

Any clues on what the riveted head is all about? Was that some new idea in chopping wood or something?

NICE SNAG,SCOTT!!!


I WOULD THINK A MANUFACTURING WAY TO SAVE MONEY..........

EASIER THAN CASTING OR FORGING ENTIRE HEAD WITH EYELET?????? (JUST A GUESS)

SEEMS LIKE A TON OF STRESS ON 3 RIVETS.......................

Some really beautiful pieces posted here!

Here are 3 KeenKutter hatchets I have.

Wayne

GORGEOUS!!!

Yeah! Those are really nice!
Looks like original handles.

How do you guys clean these axes up?
I saw vinegar & steel wool was mentioned; just scrub it with vinegar?
Do you soak it first? Do you oil it afterward?

I have a few I need to clean up.

Thanks,
Dale

I use GOJO hand cleaner and steel wool on mine Dale. The GOJO makes the handles look great too. It renews the wood and makes it shine. Vinegar will remove the rust but it also removes the patina. If you want to make them look like new, soak them in vinegar then take steel wool or a wire brush to them, the rust and crud will fall off. I coat the head with light oil and the handles with mineral oil after they're cleaned up.

Thanks Mike.

My wife & I stopped at a store that sells leftovers from estate sales.
I found this Plumb Scout Axe.
The head is mushroomed; pounding too many tent pegs?
Anyone have an idea of the value in this condition?

A few recent finds. A Collins Jersey pattern made by Mann Edge, an unmarked axe, a Belknap Blue Grass carpenter's hatchet head, an Evansville double bit head and a very nice Kelly "Worlds Finest" hatchet with the original sheath.

Nice finds Mike!

Here is one I just had to have, it was made in Poland, it is very unusual which I like and you can`t beat the stag handle and inlays

That is BAD ASS D!!!!

I don't collect them but there seems to be some gathering in the back of my Yukon

I scarfed this bad boy up a couple weeks ago....

Nice one, Dimitri.

That is a cool piece, Dimitri, never seen anything like that one before. Scott, you sure have a nack for digging these old pieces out. I need to come to Florida and go shopping with you some day

TOO COOL, D...............

This is a light duty kitchen axe that Sears sold perhaps up in the 1970s
Made the plaque from Sassafras wood, will hang horizontal or vertical.
