This axe was taken out once. I treated the handle with boiled linseed oil and treated the axe head cover with mink oil. It comes with an extra axe head cover. Looking for a good folder. Not sure exactly what I want but I tend to like heavy duty folders. But I will entertain offers for smaller ones as well. Users are fine so long as it's not abused. Reach me at na99974@yahoo.com for pics and offers.
