Getting learn'ed
on: November 04, 2012, 08:04:09 PM
While out flea marketing this weekend i saw a quite a few axes, hatchets, axeheads. Some $ and some $$$$.  I got the want for a good piece of axe.  ::)
Trouble is i don't know anything beyond Wetterling, GB and Fiskars. Best time to get educated on markings, makers, and styles.

Not sure if anyone has seen this link on old axes

http://www.yesteryearstools.com/Yesteryears%20Tools/Home.html

Some of the axes i saw out there had some nice makers marks. Others had none. I know i saw Plumb, Defender, Sager and a lot of Kellys.

Nice link Pacu   :salute:

My advice when buying axes;

The older it looks the better and maybe avoid anything that looks like it has been sharpened on a grinder (might be OK but might have softened the temper of the steel)

Oh and look down the end of the poll/eye to see if its squashed out of shape  ;)

Good luck Mate  :cheers:
