Someone  :whistle: left our axe outdoors and this is how it looks after been in a snow for two months.

Noki was not amused. I hope it's just surface rust. Removing that rust and giving it sharpening is my job this evening.

I think it turned out to be ok. Nasta approves or maybe she is just saying: Get this thing out of our dining table.

Here is our axe collection. 3 Fiskars and wood handeled Hultafors. All sharpened. I wonder what people with life are doing on a friday night.

And just for the badge, I did some kindling using my camp axe/hatchet. You can even do decent feathersticks with sharp axe.

Thanks I used crystal soda for cleaning and then food grade paraffin oil for the blade and the handle.

You mean x13. It is super light weight and useful. I recommend.

Thanks and  :woohoo:

Fiskars make great axes and scissors. As a Finn I'm propably partial to complement these tools, but I just find them so good.

A great bunch of axes you have there. Congratulations on the badge! :cheers: I'd put my Fiskars X-7 to use if it wasn't so cold outside.

I reckon Krista is right. Whilst I would never take my Tuatahi or Jauregi racing axes out to the cold, a real work axe like X-7 can take it with a smile

 :o I thought been too cold was a joke . What madness is that you can't use your axe during winter.

Nah. It is true I’m afraid. Handforged and grinded racing axes can break if used in minus temperatures. Quest for speed and power come at a price in general usability

Something wrong with your camp axe?  It's got a big hole in it.  I bet that makes it very comfortable for feathering and other close work since you can put your thumb through the hole.  Congratulations on the new badge.

The meaning of that hole is that it holds the sheath. It leaves the hammer end open, so you can safely use hammer while the sheath is on place.
