Any guesses on how much was removed from the blade? Currently 42". I will pull the handle and look at the edge where it's been cut down- maybe previous helper handle hole is being covered?
Also, from experience with saws, was that common to do that to them?
Square_peg, you aren't far from me so if you know of someone locally - personally or professionally - who does good work on them, I'd be curious.
*I dont want to foul the forums with solicitation but I would like to use this saw in as sweet a condition as possible.
$45 for all. Not quite a steal......but a replacement cant hook handle costs $45 alone at my local hardware store so I feel OK.
And the cant hook handle is really nice at that.
Was there something wrapped around it before the swell? Just noticed the uniform marks and more wear on the end.
You got your money's worth just with that old Warren sledge. I love all that old Warren stuff.
I got this yesterday and even before I wire brushed it you could see the temper lines. It has a very short handle and is only marked with a "2". It sort of looks Swedish to me. Any thoughts?![]()

It's 10 1/4in bit to bit, total length of handle is 29in.
Wow you've got a good eye, I think you're right! I guess I spent too much time looking through all my magnifiers and not enough time just looking at it. I think I can faintly see a 4 and that makes sense cause it's pretty hefty.It looks like a 4-2. I think I can see a weaker four stamp. I could be wrong. I would think a North American axe also.
That adze is fantastic...I wonder if it's a blacksmith job on a hammer.
