My business is to restore vintage axe heads that are mostly imported and give them a new, useful life. Used axe heads have passed the test of time, that's why they are a good reliable choice. My handles are hand carved with traditional tools from locally sourced material and no template or lathe is used; every piece is unique and hung according to the best standards in terms or grain orientation, alignm...ent and sturdiness. I never had a broken handle reported to me, so they must be good! I can also make pretty clean and serviceable leather sheaths to protect your edge.
Here's one of my earlier works straight from my personal collection. This brutal looking 2.5-pound Slavic all-purpose axe head had two cracks each side of the eye, so I got them professionally repaired before reprofiling the blade for better geometry and alignment. No hardness was lost by the way and the blade is very sharp. I made the friction fit handle out of ash and the sheath also. Note that the stitching on the sheath needs to be repaired, but since the leather is also glued, it can still be used as is.
****This is a very sharp tool that has the potential to cause severe injuries if not used properly. However, in good hands, it is a sturdy and efficient cutting device that will give you decades of enjoyment.
I've been restoring and selling hundreds of axes over the 4 last years now and I hope to be able to continue bringing special axes to you guys for many more years. Don't hesitate and send me a message if you have any question or comment. Thanks for looking and happy shopping!
