LOL!I have a like new, with paint Council FSS boy's axe I refuse to hang because it has a "dent" in the edge instead of a chip.
Yep, a Hudson bay with teeth and fangs. I would imagine they still have the dies for those. They could make a killing on those if they brought them back.
Can't make an axe with a good old fashion high center line or a decent heat treat but fangs and nonsense is no problem.
Excuse the rant, but it happens every time some one posts one of those.

I will take the harder bit every time. Just doesn't seem right to have one roll. Harder holds an edge better. I flip a few heads but I have a keeper box for heads that I want to keep. There are no soft ones in that box. Sometimes I keep an unassuming head just because it's exceptionally hard.
I'm with Garry on this one. I want the durability and edge retention of the harder steel. True Temper Flint Edge is a great example. It will chip but not catastrophically.

No high center line on this one either. Its not a new axe but its not very old. Maybe things have changed?
Its a 4lb dayton.
