I finished this 4 lb Smart's axe awhile ago, but discovered a gap between the haft and the eye (see first photo). After humming and hawing over options, I just cut the haft off and started again. Someone on this forum was wise enough to tell me that polls that get hammered on will eventually lose their shape, which this one did. So, I kept that in mind putting on the new 32 inch handle. I used Danish Oil on this one for the first time ever. These handles are Garants. The only 32" ones I can get have a really flat and weak swell in the handle. Still, its nice to find a quality vintage Canadian axe with some history. These heads were made in Brockville, Ontario, Canada. This one is likely at least 50 years old.
