axe ID question

[Awesom-o-4000]

picked up a couple of axes this weekend. I was hoping someone could recognize the patterns

Ya got me beat. Try checking out ship building tools.

Good score, I'd like to have them in my collection. They defiantly look European.

Good scores. I don't recognize either pattern but they look like they're from the ship building industry.

The one on the left has a hook that is identical to an ice harvesting axe, but I cant seem to find an example of one with a broad bit.

is the second one norvegian?

 

[Awesom-o-4000]

no idea. it has no markings. I was just hoping some one had seen something similar.

I haven’t been on much and just saw your axe Awesome-O. It kind of looks like this “Norfolk” being made by Windy Smithy. Obviously it has that hammer on it so it is different and they didn’t invent the pattern.

All kind of aim towards what I find on the internet.

Looks somewhat like these as well.

Norwegian axes “Bila exhibit” – there are blade shapes like the one you have.

Yours is a little different in that it, of course, has a hammer end and the eye is that D-shape that I associate more with Central/Eastern Europe. Kind of like this being offered out of Slovenia:

I'm sorry that picture is so big.

Regardless, it’s pretty neat.

I got this image from a fellow axe collector named Clinton who is on a couple of axe-related Facebook pages that I am on. Check out the house ice axe at the top.

(I can't seem to post a picture, so here's a link.)
