Collins 4 1/2

Frank-New Zealand · May 22, 2012

This my Collins 4 1/2 pounder. Got her recently via an on-line auction. Really like the patina on this axe. Not many of these around here so I was very pleased to get one in such good condition. She has not seen much work. I don't have names for all of my axes of course but this one is Kathleen.

I guess I am a KELLY person but to my eye This is what a single bit axe should look like.

I am looking fwd to 'Big O' writing his stuff on 'Collins'

Nice work. I like the patina look to that axe.

I like the looks of the shorter handles on these big axes. That's a real workhorse of a blade :thumbup:.

I enjoy your postings of your BBW'S
This one has cheeks out to yar!

Kidding aside I am glad someone else names their axes, I was beginning to feel sort of Adams family...Mine are all boys names though.

She's a fresh axe for sure. I'm glad Kathleen fell in to your hands where she will be appreciated.

Thanks for the comments.

Cattledog....Is Tampa Bay in Florida? Interesting your axes have boys names. I have always considered mine to be female.
Lucky we don't live next door to each other...Yours would be cutting their way through the fence and axe breeding may happen.
