Made a crude bit cover for my beloved Fiskars. It's ugly, but works well!

Put the Viking on a 22" handle. More packable for sure. She's definitely not a splitter! Very thin bit. I still enjoy it though.

I wish the Husky was on a 19" or so handle as well, she's chunky!

Lets see some pics!

I will post a few pictures of my own a little later, don't have any at the moment

Anyone ever seen this oddity? Saint Louis Mo stamp with a double strike C M & ST P upside down!? Looks like there is no Mound City stamp on the opposite side. Crazy....I think this head was one we found on 1898 SD farmstead, now our hobby farm.

The Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific Railroad. To answer who made it, we need multiple pictures from different angles, showing bevels, shape of the eye, etc

Not proud of the pics I forgot "crucible steel bit" just under right side poll.

Looks like Kelly Perfect.
There is possibility, it was made for Simmons Hardware Co

Hardcore Hammer's hatchet. I had to tighten up the head. You can see how much further down the eye I drove it, and this is after sending the eye. However, I will say, it cuts like a beast.

 

[Billy The Hungry]

Apologies for the double post, doh!

 

[Billy The Hungry]

Took these two out camping recently. Used both of them to split some very hard, dry wood. The Husky definitely splits a little better. The Hardcore Hammer is a better chopper. They're great team mates though!

Tried my hand at making some very crude over strike guards. Don't judge me too harshly, haha!

 

[manhartg]

Well done!

Learned a new technique for thinning behind the edge. I wish I had taken a before picture.

Just for fun, I also hit it with some blue paint. Trying to be like Hulks Bruks, haha! This axe originally had blue paint anyway.

Funny enough, this axe is my best chopper by far. It was a rusty mess when I got it. It's made in China. No idea of the brand, unless the brand is "Ox", but I think that is just someone's initials.

This was a rusty $1 garage sale axe head when I got it.
