Swedish axe ±1600g I have put today this handle of nice ash on there. I was so pleased to get a good shape from the piece because it was such good wood in this case, resilient, very fibrous, all the best qualities, oh and sufficiently seasoned, bit of a lively form making for easy use that way. I have not felt a need to wedge this one yet.
The necessary grinding required to even out the severely worn-back toe.
It means much of the bit gone, I'll get to that though.
Butterfly construction with the socket form deviating somewhat from the norm of rounded, this one flat and elongated. (Makes me think of the recent video posted up by Steve Tall).
Strapped closure at the inside of the socket.
And now to get back to the edge insert of high carbon content steel.
Clearly a good deal still left to use up.
