What did you rehang today?

[Hacked]

Found this cleaning out my grandfather's shed. I wish I took before pics. I guess it was either a salesman's sample or a toy from a kids tool set. Either way it's real steel and wood. Cleaned it up, gave it an edge, re-hung it and treated the handle

Vaughan refers to their currently produced version as an Oyster Hatchet. I'm still not certain of the intended use, but it's a safe bet that it is neither a salesmans sample nor child's toy. I'm convinced that there was never such a thing as a salesmans sample of any axe, though I could be wrong.

Re hung Collins Legitimus and released it in its natural habitat of Adirondack Mountains along with Woodcraft Pack Axe. Do all Duo.

What a sweet little axe! I love it!

Those are sometimes called an oyster hatchet. Vaughan still makes them.

I never cared for the way this Husqvarna came from the factory. I like them to sit hard on the shoulders.

Evansville jeep axe. Thought it deserved a velvicut handle. It's a 4 lb dayton

Lots of really good looking axes here lately!

DarthTaco - I noticed your axe here. Do you know what model number it is?

I am putting together a Finnish axe and was curious. Yours looks to have a lot larger eye than most I've seen judging by the amount of wood poking through at the top.

No collar recess/solid collar, long bit. Scale is throwing me off - is it a large hatchet or a full size axe? Did you get a weight on it before you hung it?

Rickoff, Nice hang as well!

That is a fine handle. I have only used an Evansville Pulaski but they seem like quality tools :thumbup:

It's a 1.25 kg head on a 28" haft. No model number but this particular axe is a Sater I believe.

See, there are some winners at Lowe's if you take a look. Very nice.

Thanks jb, I went through the stock at two stores during my travels and found three with real good grain orientation for about 11$ each including tax.

Swedish or Finn, it is a cool looking piece of steel - thanks for the reply there.

Hung this little guy back on the original handle after soaking it in blo. It's got a odd shaped handle but I kind of like it. It's a 3 and a half pound plumb connie.

Are you asking what I would want to sell it for? Depends on what it is. Condition, brand etc. Really messed up, overly worn stuff I try not to buy. But US made heads in good shape aside from surface rust usually go for $12-20 with most going for $14-15. This is for good ones. Something a little unusual, in top shape may go for up to $24. Swedish stuff a bit higher. If you are asking, I can find you something nice for $20 shipped Priority. I have a couple clean carpenter hatchet heads that would be less. Also, I can fit two heads in the box so shipping is free on the second one.

BTW, pricing is roughly the same for full size heads. A bit more for Connie's because I love those, and Maine heads are case by case.

Very reasonable of you JB, they are either scrap or antique stores want a fortune around here. Tried to PM you but I don't seem to have the option

The seller mentioned that it was a Finnish style of axe typically associated with carpentry, if that helps.

That's the same Norlund I have...boy's axe weight, full size eye. I see you mostly utilized a longer wedge to account for the extra eye space...good call. Probably much easier than thinning down a short full-size handle like I did with mine.

That vintage handle is unique being short, but with the larger eye...good find and match for the head!
