That's seen some use
Here is a couple axe heads I got last week. Top one is a True Temper Flint Edge Kelly Works and is 10 13/16" bit to bit. The bottom one is a Sager Chemical Axe and is 13 9/16" bit to bit. The Sager is heavily pitted and has seen better days so it will sit in the collection. The True Temper might get rehandled but proably not.
Some excellent axes chaps. I've always like the look (and idea) of a small double bit axe, but as Tony says they were never really used over here so are next to impossible to find.
I asked my local 'leather man' to make a Mask for Swampy It's a working tool so I need a rugged Mask for it please He decorated one side of it to cover a mistake he tells me (Image removed from quote.)(Image removed from quote.)(Image removed from quote.)(Image removed from quote.)

I was thinking along the lines of stopping it slip out of my hands when swinging it (possibly near your car )P7 = little tiny things? (I think you are just encouraging Neil )
