Re: Anyone Collect Axes & Hatchets?
Yesterday's Tractor club swap meet. Found a new ESTWING hatchet Sportsman's axe E24A stacked leather $20.00
24 oz. with the NO.16 Black Ballistic nylon Sheath, which I do not find online, usually leather.
of particular interest was a seller with some sweet Marbles knives and and antique axes. Best one was if I recall, a number 53? priced at $500. and a few others $250 and up. A couple of other sellers with Marbles.
I also see that Estwing has the black special edition sports man's axe, other than the color is there anything special about them?

Re: Anyone Collect Axes & Hatchets?
Sounds like a great find! I have several Estwing axes and if I find one at the "right price" I always pick it up. I can always trade it off to a friend or a member of the local informal knife trading club.mrwatch wrote: ↑Sat Jun 12, 2021 11:22 am Yesterday's Tractor club swap meet.

Here is some more info, on the steel that the Estwing is made of that I found. If the axe is made of 1055 carbon steel, then the black coating will help prevent rust.
Customer questions & answers:
Question:What type of steel is this Estwing hatchet made of?
Answer:If the company says it's 1055, as a previous customer indicated, I wouldn't doubt it. I've owned this axe for a while now and find it to be of excellent quality. 1055 is a durable carbon steel that is excellent at withstanding shock.

Here is a little 2xBit Marble's axe I like, next to a bigger Condor 2xBit ( I think Condor is now making axes under the Marble's logo).

Here are a couple of items I keep in the corner to be used if I feel like "getting medieval" in a situation...

Re: Anyone Collect Axes & Hatchets?
Not my picture but I do own one. Seems to rust easily and found the pointed tip a bit soft for chopping ice to stop rain and melting snow coming into my barn but it worked. Depeeka war hammer, for medieval enactment.
Re: Anyone Collect Axes & Hatchets?
Very nice!!! I have found I am constantly fighting rust on some of my pieces. I have tried motor oil, bacon grease, olive oil, mineral oil etc...etc... after time... rust sets in...

Re: Anyone Collect Axes & Hatchets?
As I stated in my last post, I have found that I am constantly fighting rust on some of my pieces. I have tried about everything and the cheapest rust protection for a "Large-Volume" of items seems to be used motor oil. It is free and lots of it is around and makes for easy dunking. I just pulled out some ax heads last night to find rust was creeping back again or was about to due to high humidity overnight
So it was time for a dunking action...

Re: Anyone Collect Axes & Hatchets?
Nice! If I recall correctly, Bridgeport also made a number of official BSA hatchets. I had the '60s BSA manual (found in "free" bin at the local library) in addition to my own (then current for 2007-10) manual; and in it were my first exposure to the Imperial Scout Knife, Western BSA Sheath knife, and of course, the Bridgeport.
I carried just some el-cheapo; store brand "MADE IN INDIA"

Re: Anyone Collect Axes & Hatchets?
You are correct, as I recall I have had a couple of Bridgeport official BSA hatchets in the past. I like the solid construction of the handle and head being one piece.cody6268 wrote: ↑Sun Jun 27, 2021 1:05 am Nice! If I recall correctly, Bridgeport also made a number of official BSA hatchets.

Re: Anyone Collect Axes & Hatchets?
Very nice find! That pattern on the cheek and bit is awesome. I am going to keep an eye for one at the local shows/flea market. I have had a few Council axes, but they are not easy to find in my part of Arizona. My favorite one that I found was this double-bit in the attached photo.

Re: Anyone Collect Axes & Hatchets?
Items from your collections look epic. I still cannot decide to collect something specific. Probably, it's just not yet time to decide what I would like to collect.
