Anyone Collect Axes & Hatchets?
Re: Anyone Collect Axes & Hatchets?
Here are a couple of items I keep in the corner to be used if I feel like "getting medieval" in a situation...

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.

Re: Anyone Collect Axes & Hatchets?
I got this hatchet in May and the head was covered in paint and with rust so the maker's mark was a little hard to read, but I could make out Sweden,
I had a hunch from the blue paint before I picked it up that it was from Sweden . Here are the before and after photos of that Swedish made hatchet after a little clean up, sharpening and wood stain on the handle.

Re: Anyone Collect Axes & Hatchets?
Hults Bruk did use that color blue, I would search their history of marks. Nice find, but can not confirm maker.
Re: Anyone Collect Axes & Hatchets?
WARDS special axe damage to the handle. Montgomery Wards stores. red and white handle.
Axe marked B B B hand made with some of the label left. Not sure who made it or sold it?
Not likely I will ever use them.

Re: Anyone Collect Axes & Hatchets?
Not bad idea. Only for collecting, the axes that I use in my everyday life to chop wood for a grill or fireplace are hardly suitable.GSPTOPDOG wrote: ↑Wed Jul 14, 2021 10:30 pmHmmm.... ...

Re: Anyone Collect Axes & Hatchets?
I was thinking it might be an H.B. but I wasn't sure so I left a little of the blue paint on the head just be nostalgic and... maybe help I.D. it later on.

Re: Anyone Collect Axes & Hatchets?
I assume that Buck has plastic over a metal handle? Not liking the looks of a crack at the head, hit something and not failing?
Re: Anyone Collect Axes & Hatchets?
That is a gouge not a crack, so I am hoping it will continue to hold strong
