Finally sharpened my hatchet!

[tjiscooler]

Hey guys! After years of "getting around to it" I finally got off my butt and sharpened my old Estwing. I was so happy I decided to share I also did the new Estwing while I was at it...

Heres the new one...

And this is the sheath after oil and wax treatment

Thanks for looking! I cant wait to chop some stuff.

Those are a couple lookers alright. Nice.

Wow! What did you use to do that? I have two just like them in need of the same treatment

 

[trailmaker]

Awesome job, two beauties ready for duty. What have you done to the handle of your old Estwing to make it look so new?

Two good hand axes that will serve you, your son, and your grandson well. They last forever.

I used belts on them, its works so nice I havent used stones in ages!

The handle is all original! Just in good shape. Although it is cracking a bit and ill probably refinish it eventually...

 

[Alberta Ed]

Very nice. Now, don't loan them to anyone.

 

[Gallows]

Very nice looking edges
