What did you rehang today?

No stamp?

I only saw these two marks on it. No clue who made it or how old it is. I got it from an auction. It came with an axe head that I bought. I'll be putting it to use soon.

As you said it looks like a quality tool. I sure don't recognize it.

Given the "5" is in relief, would the lower mark be as well?

And just under that

Good eye. I didn't notice anything on that side. I'll have to check it out tomorrow. I'm guessing it's pretty old?

Back one is a 3.5lb True Temper Kelley Perfect Michigan I believe with "Stiletto" stamped on the other side. It is hung on a 36" House Handle. The front one was a 3.5lb generic axe head (Dayton-ish profile) with CHINA stamped on it. I took to it with the grinder and pulled a little more than a pound out of it and then hung it on a 19" house handle.

Me neither. Seen plenty with a True Temper stamp but that's the first Perfect.

Nice work on the Changfors Bruks! I've not modified a head before but that one looks good.

Both handles look well done and the same guy did them

Any chance of a picture of the marks on the other side of the Stiletto?

Thanks for kind words, it's good fun re-inventing/invigorating old and new steel.

Here are photos of both sides:

How about some specs on that whip?

 

[Agent_H]

Hacked! I think you just "leveled up" your take on the small head on a longer handle.

Impressed but not surprised that you put something like that together -
