Friction fit like a socket chisel:
The chisel above to the left of the socket wedge obviously could use a new handle.
Luckily I have the old one for a pattern unlike the two on the left where I was left to my own devices.

Today's couple acquisitions.
Who made red knight axes? Collins?
I found a connie in great shape and a fairly good boy scout hatchet on the original helve.
I've already filed the mushrooming off the connie and am currently filing the bit. Have a great day all!
And btw thank you Bob and ITVD for those close ups of the poll on those wedges. It's a great innovation!

Here's an example;
That's a nice axe you've got! Do you have a haft ready for it?

And here's a link to some more info;I've been slowly cleaning my new Lippincott. On the opposite side from the stamp I have found this.
I think I see Americana? And perhaps Massport PA?
Does this ring any bells?

Thank you.
I believe you are right. I was seeing things.
No, I don't have a haft yet. I'm thinking that it needs to be a special one though.
Thank you!!!

You guys are awesome.
Josh that Red Knight is amazing.
I'm so behind on show and tell. I've got great stuff from itvd and jb etc., but not enough seconds in the minutes, of which there aren't enough of in the hours, which there are not enough of in the day. I wish this site would auto size to fit, the social apps have spoiled me for convenience.

Here's a couple ebay gets. 11.5" edge, 7.75lb L & I J White broad. Cavernous eye. Interesting shape. Lots of steel, nice and hard. Will be a user, eventually. I'm excited to hang this and file it.
And a 4.75lb Bradley. Very excited about this one. I can't quite make out what the poll says after steel. Could it say steel "pole"? It's such a refined implement. The finishing that went into this is incredible. I will hang it, but I don't think I'll file it. This one feels like every bit of the bit should be preserved. God knows I want to, though.

Daaaaamn!! Those are some gorgeous finds! Both are stunning in my opinion. I can't believe the amount of bit steel in the broad axe. And the Bradley! Geez man well done. Do you have any idea of the age on the latter?

No idea at all yet. I had already made my "purchase of the month" with the White broad axe. (There's never just one, I have a problem.) Then I saw the Bradley which was listed as a hewing axe, and I immediately purchased it. Had to have. Came on a cut off handle that wasn't original, but old.
I've gotta get pics up of a gorgeous axe I got from JB. He's certain it's an Oakland axe. All I know is it's beautiful.
And i got some stuff from itvd I've been meaning to post up. Big wedges like yours, kerosene bottle hook, J. Sells handles. Awesome stuff.
