My humble axe collection

I only have a small collection of axes and hatchets, a few still in the corner waiting to be restored to their former selves. I have two double bit axes in the corner along with a third double bit cruiser axe that needs a handle. I have a Max Ax that needs the fiberglass handle replaced with one made of wood, I also need to find the bag of implements. I never cared for the fiberglass handles, just doesn't beat the feel of a wooden handle.

Small family

Last year I purchased a Gransfors Bruks small forest axe off of a online store. This was my first real axe, something that I could call my own. It was also the most I ever spent on a axe. About the same time I found a no name boys axe at my grandfather's property, the handle needed to be replaced but the head was in good shape. I purchased a couple handles off eBay and even found a Plumb hatchet head. The Plumb was roughly the same size as the small forest axe. These two axes were restored about the same time.

My last hatchet I bought was one from Harbor Freight, reading some reviews it seemed like a decent project hatchet, for what I have in my collection this was assigned to cutting roots in the dirt preventing the task to be done with a better quality axe.

Keen Kutter, Gransfors Bruks, and Harbor Freight.

Of course the latest addition to my collection was the Keen Kutter hewing hatchet my friend gifted to me. I really enjoy the size of this hatchet and hope to put it to use soon on a future project.
