Whatcha think about my latest axe/hatchet head? I don't know if the temper lines will come through on the pics, but the head has lots of good steel left. Can't wait to touch it up and hang it.cwd

Oh yeah! The temper lines look mighty fine to me.

I like that axe a lot. The heels and toes aren't excessively worn and the bit appears to have been filed rather than put on a grinder. That's a good find!

That's a nice axe. I've got an nice old Sager Chemical DB myself. It's one of my favorite axes.
I had another Sager Chemical DB that I sold like a dumb a$$
It had temper lines almost all the way to the eye on both sides.

Cleaned up very nice !

What's the weight on that beauty? What length haft are you planning?

Sager chemical were some of the best axes made.

Thanks for confirming my hopes that i lucked up. i will weigh her later, and I have not even thought through length yet, just too purty. I've got a nice knot klipper and a couple of others,so i have to quit acquiring and start fixing up. I think this sager is the best one i have, though.cwd

Knot Klipper was the Cadillac line for Mann edge tool, so sounds like u did well.

Bought a 1935 Sager Chemical DB at a garage sale for $5. The heads got a little bit of pitting that thing makes me smile. I keep it beside the bed.
