Just bought a Scandinavian Forest Axe, but the head has a small crack. Is this worth sending it back and getting a new one? Thanks 👍

I’m in New Zealand and there’s a couple of axes around selling for around 20 to 30 nzd i know nothing about axes but they seem good quality should I buy them and try to rehandle and resale at 60 to 80 dollars cleaned up?

Details & Specifications:

• Steel: Hand-forged steel featuring etched Norse runes & Vegvisir symbols

• Handle & Box: Custom hand-carved wood, fully hand-painted inside and out with intricate Norse artwork

• Finish: Hand-crafted display box lined for protection

Every detail on the axe and box was done by hand. Feel free to ask any questions or send a DM for custom orders!

I scored this for about $0.25.

1 1/2 lb

Is there anything cool or special about this?

Near mint antique store find plumb boys/house axe 2.32 #. Well taken care of in its earlier life. Just a bit of surface rust will clean up nicely. No poll damage and a nice full bit.
Question:
Should I hang on 24” house/ pack handle already in my handle inventory or wait on a nice boys handle when I can find one?
Your comments and suggestions are always welcome here.

Kelly perfect, poll was destroyed so ground it true.

Hey y’all, found this axehead at a flea market in southern France. Found a makers mark on the blade today whilst leaning it with a wire wheel.
Hoping that anyone can ID it.

I have this axe see pictures. My dad found it at a garage sale so I tried to polish a bit remove what was left of the red paint. It has a mark of c24 on the side and that’s it. This is not the shape it was when I found it. I customized it but couldn’t really find anything with c24. Any help would be great. A guy at a local leather motorcycle shop made me the sheath and charged me nothing. I thought that was incredible.

I’m just finishing my first axe handle, made from an old black locust log I had lying around.

The wood had a few cracks, but I decided to keep going. Unfortunately, there’s still a small crack right next to the axe head.

Is there any way to fix this, or should I scrap the handle and start over?
