FS:2 ax-heads for the ax-o-philes among us
Posted: Sun Aug 10, 2014 2:23 am
Figured I'd post these here for a while first. Click on the pics to see larger images. Price is $25 each, including shipping via USPS Priority (in the US). If you are outside the US, drop me a PM and we'll see what we can work out. Paypal preferred, but money order etc is OK--it will delay shipping though, because I don't get to the bank very often. PM me or post here if you are interested.
Keen Kutter ax head, measures about 7.5" long by just over 4.5" across the cutting edge. Rust damage and peening of the back as shown in the photo; most of the handle is long-ago missing. Price is $25 shipped (in US) via USPS Priority.
I think this is what is known as a "Kentucky pattern" ax (I'm from Nebraska, there's just not a lot of knowledge about axes around here!) Length is about 7", roughly 4.25" across the cutting edge. This one seems to be hand-forged; there seems to be a line where a steel bit was inserted into an iron body. Looks like it spent some time buried, but I don't seen any cracks, etc.
thanks for looking!
