Hi, Just wondering what the PH stamp means on a Hytest Craftsman axe.

That's good to know. This stamp is crooked and set high near the poll but on the cheek side with the weight, brand, and model stamp. Would it be someone's initials? What is an aftermarket axe?

Aftermarket just means somebody intentionally did something to it after it left the factory, it's not a type of axe or anything.
When I mentioned aftermarket stamps being crooked with raised edges, it's because somebody got a set of these and put their initials or a property number...etc in the head.


it's hard to keep these damn things straight, I know I can't stamp anything out evenly with them to save my life.
