been puttering around the past few nights and was able to work on these two beauties.

Keen Kutter Boys Axe. from Operator as part of a Connecticut trade. rehung it on the same handle. Reprofiled and sharpened. Ground the poll a slight bit.











Rixford FSS double bit. It had a pin in it which I was able to knock out. Sharpened and hung on a 30" House handle octagonal.





thanks for looking
 
I am liking that Keen Kutter boys axe a lot. Nice looking old haft. I second that thanks for sharing.
 
The Keen Kutter logo is neat. Any idea if it is etched or stamped?
 
That KK is really nice. You are killin me with the boy's axes you've come across. Very nice indeed!
 
Man those are sweet. I really like that Keen. I got a full size but would love to come across a boy's size sometime. Seriously cool cooper.
 
thanks all.

I believe it is a stamp. Operator would know. I have three Keen Kutters now and this is the nicest stamp of the three. I prefer this version to later versions with just Keen Kutter on the poll.
 
I figure it is probably stamped, but for some reason that one looks etched to me.
