It could be. I admit I haven’t looked at it closely enough to know for certain.

I like those. I wonder if one of those styles is any better than the other.Larrikin Axe makes some of the coolest wedges...

Oh, man. That shelf looks like major trouble. Better to use a smaller back wedge and shave the back of the tongue off flat. The Japanese have been wedging this way for centuries.
It does...I'm afraid that everything else(like choice of wood specie as well as a cut)has not been meant to function,kinda of "art",based on some hazy ideas type of a deal.

That pickaroon handle is beautiful! 
I don’t think he’s going for the “use it like a rented mule” thing.

These did follow me home from my parents house following our Christmas day, whole family get together.
These are from my mom and mother in law.
I am very lucky to have both still in my life.
The Collinsville Legitimus, Filson vest and New Hartford CT book from my mom
You cant see it in the pictures, but just off to the top right, next to the fireplace is my AWESOME Vaughan Senior Scout Axe with Sheath...
Thank you again

Wow!
Wow is right...so uncommon to see a virgin axe!
Interesting what a fine angle these had,from factory...These were curious tools,pretty Universal in purposing,felling/splitting/everything in building-axes...
Also,from the time+culture where Re-blading was a common part of an axe ownership...
All of the above kinda makes for a fluid equation...

Even a brand new one, (from Claudel it seems), with similar dimensions, made with specific intentions in mind.

I'd never order such a monster though I know the one who did. Probably by now it's been put to its uses.
Nice monster!Very clean forging...
That rougher surface toward the top of eye is the only indication of it having been exposed to a Very high degree of heating...Meanwhile,there's number of welds performed there.
It's possible that even that was cleaned up(scaled off)in subsequent finishing process.
Remarkable.Nowadays it is Very rare to see an axe completely,as in Finish-forged,to shape.
Beautiful work.

Merry Christmas to me. My first Flint Edge. Thank you to YJ for all the pointers in selecting my first Jersey pattern. I am very excited! I hope everyone's new year has started off in a positive manner!
Thats a great Jersey Flint. Near full bit with beautiful full cheeks. Excellent score.

I'll second that. It's a good'un! Not flashy but damn nice just the same. Plus it looks nice being in such good shape.
What will you put for a grind on it? Do you live in a rural area where you can use it much?
Thank you, looks to be 3.5. I don't have a small scale. But it is closer to 3.5 than 4.
Not sure on the grind. I just thought I would work with what was there. I am open to any suggestions you may have though? And no, no longer in the country. In town for now.
