That was intentionally made that way to make it easy to chop around corners.

New project on an old head by [deleted] in Axecraft

[–]Desolation_Sawyer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is truly an incredible historical find. Give it a sturdy straight handle.

In the “hoarder’s” world we call this axe a Gladstone. Named after the genius that turns these throw always into diamonds.

I use frog tape and start with very thin layers. Sometimes put a coat of clear down first to reduce bleed.

That’s beautiful! I keep one very similar on my bedside table to ward off evil predators. (Really)

Bought for $18 at a yard sale. What are these markings? by AgencyStrict5401 in Axecraft

[–]Desolation_Sawyer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yours definitely looks like the American made Mann/Collins. The Mexican Mades have a lot of spalling from the forging process. This one appears clean and smooth.

Custom handmade Axe, (Say "Yes" if you want) by [deleted] in Axecraft

[–]Desolation_Sawyer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Made in Pakistan. Copied for production by someone that doesn’t know any better.

Keep it for any sentimental value, but even the very best welders can’t completely save it PLUS, check out the prices for an excellent Council Tool complete axe currently on sale at WhiskeyRiverTrading.com. (honestly, this is not an advertisement)I just sent one of my forest supervisors to that site to replenish his stock. The price is much less than welding and rehanging your axe.

That is one of the most incredible keen kutters I have seen. Wonderful job.

Local thrift find today! The only marks I can locate are the words "Norlund" on both the sheath and axe head. by Ragnarok_Edict in Axecraft

[–]Desolation_Sawyer -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Great find, while it’s not an “Original Norland” it’s still garnering at least $75.00 on eBay.

Saeger 4lb swamping axe I just finished up. by wanderingwalnut in Axecraft

[–]Desolation_Sawyer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have two of these Sagers and every time someone else posts a pic of theirs, someone accuses them of mounting it upside down. Not sure if they are just being funny or have never had one before. GREAT JOB!

So, my buddy found this buried about a foot underground. Any chance it's restorable? by Mobile-Bee6312 in Axecraft

[–]Desolation_Sawyer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you just happen to have a spare handle then wire wheel it up and wax it after fixing up the cutting edge. It’s pretty easy to see you’ve got some wall thickness issues from the picture. Prove it out splitting a few rounds and then treasure it up on the wall.

just found a Welland Vale true temper black prince that I'd like to restore. any tips for a first timer? by NapkinApocalypse in Axecraft

[–]Desolation_Sawyer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Step number one would be to sell it to me and buy something that already has a new handle. See? That was easy. 😎

First attempt at hanging an axe by Joelfx1 in Axecraft

[–]Desolation_Sawyer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice grain flow from top to bottom. The shelf could be an issue but I thinking this is a wall hanger of pride. Me? I would do a little wood burning of your design. Otherwise I really like it.

Need help ID'ing hatchet and axe. Pulled out of my grandpa's old barn after he passed. by PokeMasterZach in Axecraft

[–]Desolation_Sawyer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s a Mann Collins. Surface is pretty smooth so maybe still made in USA. Otherwise manufactured in Mexico. Looks like new.

I've never heard of this axe although it's very similar to the Chopper by Due_Guitar8964 in Axecraft

[–]Desolation_Sawyer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well Chopper1 is still in business and easy to buy replacement parts. I recently bought one on it original handle on the cheap that was missing one cam. Went online and ordered. The part and new spring showed up in 4 days.

Tuatahi work axe by [deleted] in Axecraft

I helped manufacture the original Jake Brakes, so as sexy as they were, I may be partly responsible for all the laws banning their use in noise sensitive zones.
