October 10, 2007 Found single edged


I found that single edged (bit) axe I posted about.

It's at my store, sold as a Craftsman Axe!

It is just as gracefully curved and with the thin profile of the double-edged axes, both in a tree felling profile.

The single bit axes, up to this year, have all been heavier pattern "limbing" pattern axes.

The only draw back is it has a yellow plastic handle.

But, for $24.99 it looks like a real good prospect for use.

If the handle ever breaks I can... replace it with a wooden handle. You thought I was going to say return it, didn't you? :)

It just needs a little "sharpening" though.

I got my 2 inch Craftsman bench belt sander and two kinds of axe honing stones (round).

The large diameter of the two honing stones, both Carborundum, has a fine grit side that is not matched by the newer (smaller) axe honing stones.

Up one level
