Here is one that I cleaned up, painted and put a handle on it. I think this is a Collins, the stamping "B 46" as I remember, is a similar stamp to one on a Collins axe that I owned.

Here is a Sandvik from Sweden. I cleaned it up and put a handle on it. I left some of the original paint on it but got all rust off. It is a great light-weight field axe.

Just got my OCHSENKOPF GRÜN today! ::tu:: ::super_happy:: Will clean it up a little with some sandpaper, sharpen it a bit and throw some paint on it. ::tu:: :D Not sure, maybe hang it on the wall. ::hmm:: ::shrug::
Or actually do some chopping. ::hmm:: :lol: Still can't believe I'm getting interested in axes. ::uc::

My kind of restoration project though! ::nod:: I'll leave the knives to the experts out there! ::nod:: :lol:

That is sweet! I like that axe!!! ::tu:: I think I have an OCHSENKOPF GRÜN manchette that I am going to clean up. It has the cow's head stamp on it, so I think it made by OCHSENKOPF GRÜN.

Another pair of hand forged medieval weapons; A Viking axe and war hammer. Both are made with Damascus steel. The axe blade is a Damascus billet forge-welded into a softer steel.

It's a shame so many old singles had to play double duty as a wedge, or maul, and got the Polls beat to death. If my Dad ever saw me beating on a wedge with a single bit I would have gotten my rear end tore up. Maybe being in the tree business, we had a little more respect for a specific tool for a specific job. Old farm auctions are the worse ones for finding beat up singles. I guess if all you have is a single and a wedge, you gotta do, what you gotta do. Back then they were just a tool.

Today I went my buddies house for coffee and he was talking about splitting wood with a wedge by beating on the wedge with a single bit... ::dang:: ::disgust:: I said "you are losing weight" he said "I am splitting up fire wood" then he went on to tell the tale of woe... ::facepalm::

I would really like to find one of those Marbles in good condition. They may have been a lot of different companies, or divisions of the same company, I don't know. But, I have Marbles knives, sights for my 1899 Savage rifles, and an Oak Marbles office chair.

And a lot of reproductions. I've been looking for an actual Safety Axe (the kind with the folding guard). Seems 3/4 are reproducitons selling for over $150, and good old ones, "Don't even think about it".


I have the plastic handle one SMKW sells. Gets the job done, and I've beat the heck out of mine, but it's uncomfortable and kinda cheap.
