Hmmm....

... How about collecting AXES?

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.

Hults Bruk did use that color blue, I would search their history of marks. Nice find, but can not confirm maker.

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.

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.

A very light and handy Buck hatchet.

Posted: **Mon Aug 09, 2021 12:46 pm**

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?

Posted: **Wed Aug 11, 2021 1:46 am**

That is a gouge not a crack, so I am hoping it will continue to hold strong

I'm thinking about a para-cord wrap for mine. Might help.

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.

From Canada, a Blackhawk tomahawk.

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.

Posted: **Sat Sep 04, 2021 5:36 pm**

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!

COOL!!!

Posted: **Fri Sep 10, 2021 2:22 am**

Um...

...What the hell was I thinking

Like I really needed another one

"need" is a four letter word around here .. .. ..

Cool find!

Was that a 4-letter word?

Posted: **Sat Sep 11, 2021 8:57 pm**

Maybe the 4 letter word is "Post" ...

maybe I am buying more stuff unconsciously just to have new stuff to post...

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.

Posted: **Sun Sep 26, 2021 7:27 pm**

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

Nice haul

the well was dry for me for the longest time but the past couple of weekends I found a few items of interest

a wards 2xbit and a Plumb single. Also a machete with a really bad re-handle job and some clippers.

Incidentally, been meaning to ask if your username is short for German Shorthaired Pointer? My dad and sister each have 2.

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...

Here is Zeus he is by my side almost 24/7... most of the time getting in the way
