It followed me home (Part 2)

and found a very interesting pattern broad axe.

Yes, it's a masting axe or ship axe. Is it cracked? It's not badly worn and definitely worth fixing.

I am secretly hoping that is just the construction of the head

 

[junkenstien]

42inch aitkins,think the teeth are long enough to be useable?

if there's a tooth it's usable. might wanna file the gutters though, dremels and die grinders work well for that i'v been told. nice 4 cutter, they're pretty difficult to find compared to two tooth saws in single man saws

Its not cracked but it does look that way in the photo. Interesting how it was constructed by folding the steel backwards around the eye instead if the opposite way. I was being gentle when i cleaned it because i was hoping to find a mark or two. No go. Thinking i might give electrolysis a try with this one.

Nothing worth posting a picture of, but I picked up a piece of crap powder blue garden shovel.
I'm sure you know the ones, they've got small heads, almost full length handles, and the heads are unmarked and dead soft.

It was sticking out of a neighbor's trash can so I grabbed it real quick.
The end was all bent up, but being so soft it straightened out in no time with a stump and ball peen hammer.

It's junk but it was free, so I'll abuse it as long as it'll hold then send it back to the hell it came from

I'm pretty sure my grandfather did the same thing.

When I was a kid he gave me a guitar he fixed up for me.
He made new knobs out of some old lexan, and all up one side looked like it had been stapled up by a back alley surgeon in Tijuana.
I don't know what those things were but they went all up one side and there was epoxy covering that .
Pretty sure the guitar was westline or something made in Korea.

Bah, that head is good even if the handle is trash.

I think that’s where I’m headed. I am removing the damage and don’t like that the cracks go into the eye. Also, I know I won’t use it or wish it used by anyone with that sharp bevel left there. Rounding it out will undermine it even more:

This will probably be a better option or at least a new handle (a little cluttered right now):

Lance tooth saws are the norm out here on the west coast. Champion tooth saws are more common on the east coast.

No name axe head. Any ideas?
A "DEG EXTRA" made in France
10" chefs knife. I can't find any info on this.
And a Plumb hatchet with original handle. Pre permabond with tensioning screw. ?? All new to me. I'll clean up the hatchet and give to my GF to put in with her camping gear.

The no-name has the same paint color as Forest King axes.

Look up deg sabatier knife and you'll see a lot that look like yours. No help on a manufacturer though.

...A "DEG EXTRA" made in France 10" chefs knife. I can't find any info on this.

DEG was a trademark of the cutlery manufacturer Jean Déglon of Thiers, France, which dates back to the 1921, and the company Déglon is still around, making knives.

This old catalog cover shows the DEG trademark:

Thank you for the link. I did do some more searching. And figured out who the manufacturer was. But I'll need to do a little more.

Thank you for pointing this out. I must admit I was a little concerned about buying a no name axe.

It looks like a Craftsman. I love the knife.

My thoughts exactly.
It looks a bit more blur than that metallic mint green type color of CRAFTSMAN though.

 

[jblyttle]

So I had a good day.
