Seriously, though, I think G-pig nailed it with the Baltimore pattern. :thumbup:

after further review, i do believe he/you are right
after i posted, i got to looking a little closer and thought that it could be a baltimore myself.

I think I will call them.

Did you see Ross's review of the Barco Kelly Perfect Dayton? http://woodtrekker.blogspot.com/2011/01/barco-kelly-perfect-axe-review.html The "phantom" bevels they do just make me like the "real" perfects better.

I noticed that Ross also reviewed those: http://woodtrekker.blogspot.com/2011/10/council-tool-classic-jersey-full-size.html

I sure like the old school bevels alot more than the phantom bevels.

Old school vs phantom?

 

[M3mphis]

Old school vs phantom?

Yeeaaah, that is a little vague.

You know how the old perfects have the bevels that are part of the forged shaped? They actually protrude. All the newer axes with bevels that I have seen (including the Council) appear to have these "phantom bevels." They just take a head that has been forged with flat sides and grind little crescent shaped indentations in them. I read a review that said the bevels where even uneven on the axe he received.

Actually here's the review. It's pretty good and in depth, but the site is woefully hard to navigate, so I'll give you all three parts of the review here. This is for the Council Tool Jersey Classic:


Part 1: http://thesharpenedaxe.blogspot.com/search?q=jersey+classic&updated-max=2010-12-14T16%3A05%3A00-08%3A00&max-results=20
Part 2: http://thesharpenedaxe.blogspot.com/2010/12/council-tool-jersey-axe-part-2-by-bmatt.html
Part 3: http://thesharpenedaxe.blogspot.com/2010/12/council-tool-jersey-classic-axe-review.html

EDIT:
I had the link for Part 2 screwed up. It is fixed now. This is a three part review and an interesting blog.

 

[Operator1975]

Lot of reviews out there. Didnt realize so many.

 

[Steve Tall]

The bevels on the current Barco "Perfects" look more sustantial than Council's phantom bevels.

I got this one on e 'bay. Cleaned it up, sharpened, and put a new handle on it. It's worked real well for me in clearing trails. Got the handle from hickory handle store but may put a straight 30" one on this winter. Kelly perfects are on there you just have to keep at it.
