moor man Posted July 13, 2015 Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 Ooohhh! Look what I found! Was rummaging round the recycling centre and found this Needs a bit of TLC, heads a bit loose but its a nice little axe, 13" long, 700g (1.5 lb) Got some No1 wedges on order just need to make a leather cover now. OK for a couple of quid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happy.plinker Posted July 13, 2015 Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 A couple of quid? is that a centre where you pay a bit to take goodies away or is it the wedges you mean? I found an axe the same as this on the road in the industrial state here last year,wouldn't like a motor bike to go over it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moor man Posted July 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 Its marked 'GENUINE PLUMB......MADE IN U.S.A.' Yes Plinker, used to be known as 'The Tip ' Well Done on your lucky find. Was it a Plumb? I paid £2 for it and will fit a metal wedge to sort the (slightly) loose hickory handle. Its a sweet little axe with a bite. I tried it today after a quick sharpen and it drew blood!! ( my finger brushed the corner of the blade : ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
