Someone has asked me to try and identify their axe head. The description is:
1.5kg. Next to eye on one side the number 16. On the other side the number 8 or 3.
Can't read brand name but logo is a deer.

Any thoughts or ideas.

regards...Frank
 
Thanks Ryan...They are good pics for description purposes. I may get the chance to buy the axe in question. If I do I'll put a photo up. Thanks.

regards...Frank
 
Is it similar to this deer stamp?

Have just received the axe head described. It is exactly the same as the one in the link that RyanW attached. I must say I am very disappointed as I can read printed around the deer, the words 'made in China' Although it is almost impossible these days...for personal reasons I would rather support products made elsewhere.

But hey...I'm going to give it a soak in hope of finding the words "from the Ming dynasty' on the other side.

regards...Frank
 
' MADE IN CHINA ' man, your breaking my heart...

what a dissapointment...

"ming dynasty"... good luck...!

yeah, i think that you will find the same sentiment here... made in china... no, no, no...

i actually go out of my way to buy anything and eveything... NOT made in china...

communist basterds...;) yes i said it...!
 
There are still uses for cheapy imported axes and hatchets. I use them as my beaters. I pick them up at yard sales or estates sale for next to nothing. Then I abuse the heck out of them and toss 'em in the recycle bucket. There's one sitting next to the fireplace right now. There's another out back with my splitting tools. Use them for all the tasks that you wouldn't subject your good axes to.

Ha ha! That's good! Too bad though, Frank.

Another aversion to Chinese products is the way they play games with pegging the yuan to the dollar. It's a "managed float" "based on a basket of goods" blah, blah, blah...essentially still pegged. They do just enough to avoid heavy criticism and sanctions and still keep the playing field tipped in their favor. However, the developed world's monstrous appetite for cheap goods allows them to get away with it, so the fault is shared. That's heavily opinionated so take it with a grain of salt.
