What's the deal with this axe?

Your misrepresentation is the pretense that you know what you are going on and on and on about. You've got anymore ad hominem attacks you can better leave them out. Oh yeah, that is the basis of most of your commentary so that would make it difficult for you.
 
I don't know any of the history but the enmity is off the charts. I have only seen Mr. Dubois conduct himself politely in these forums. Mr. Houtzager I cannot say the same for, and this effort to go out of the way to embarrass Mr. Dubois and rub his nose in it isn't classy.

I have no respect for that statement. Which incidentally only reinforces what I had suspected.

I am going to use this ignore list function for the first time and step out of this thread. Frankly I'd take anything you have to say with a grain of salt, at any rate. I don't believe half of what you type or the supposed provenance of your information. It's not off the cuff or an uninformed decision, I've seen quite a bit of your online interactions. And with that, goodbye :)
 
Maybe this is some of that off the chart enmity.

So yeah, I suggest you start digging with your age and all.... :D

Well, I find it more an embarrassment and hope it is understood that this kind of pathology is not representative of anything more than one individuals inability to make a coherent point beyond sweeping statements and generalizations. This kind of pubescent tantrum baloney speaks for itself. Who could even think of responding to that.

Kevin what you characterize as my remark initiating this tirade is not incidental, that is to say only regarding this instance but structural representing a long history. In the end I think it is damaging what you do here in this forum as a whole and would like one way or the other to see an end to it.
 
You can be sure that I won't be ignoring you. How and if you wish to moderate yourself I don't know but to use one of those trite Dutch platitudes which I despise, "doe even normaal jonger". Maybe that sinks in, we can hope.
 
I just checked with the hardwood store, no Japanese oak, but they have ash. I'm too lazy to try any harder than that. I'm definitely going to handle it the way I always do(American style*with no metal wedge). The eye looks and feels like it'll work. I'm thinking about if it'll throw, but it's maybe too fat in the cheeks.

No luck yet on a solid translation, even though there is an internet. I don't think that character is gold. That's close, but one of the little low marks is actually a tiny v. Not sure how this stuff works though, or if it could vary by any grammatical rules, or if the stamp got messed up.

I was trying to figure this out earlier as I can only read the first two characters... 金城 (Kinjō). I'm sorry that I can't be more of help but I hope someone can recognize that last character because I can't :-(

I was curious as well and hoped someone would know. The first two characters (金城) are just a name: Kaneshiro/Kaneki/Kinjou are all possible readings. The last one though is not any character (that I recognize) but some kind of signature or logo. I've seen something similar on these knives that have been posted here before for example(the character at the bottom that looks like a B).

Thanks for all the input. I'll make this a fully functioning axe in about 14 or 15 years, and come back and post pictures

The one Agent_H posts with the same marking looks laminated, or there's another bevel. Hard to tell on a phone.
