I've got an old Plumb half axe I'm fixing up. If I can get a good handle on it and make a fair edge cover I might end up making it my Jeep hatchet.
Awesome! I just hope it arrives a lot sooner than it says it will lol.
UPS drivers are hit and miss. Our current one is a great guy and he's friendly almost to a fault.
Congrats Nix!
Speaking of that Plumb Half Axe... I copied this from my post in the axes sub.
Here's what it looked like when I got it. (Sorry for the extremely crappy pic, it's the best I could do at the time and I forgot to take any better ones)
Here it is now after a two day vinegar bath, a lot of sanding, and filing off the roughest pieces that were dinged out of place.
The only problem is that I can't find a handle that seems right for it. It has such a small eye that a long hammer handle would fit, but it's tear drop shaped like most hatchet/axe eyes, so I can't find any handles that will work well.
