Before you know it you'll be a member of the axe mob. Hope you picked up that Plumb...A nice Plumb double bit is still a good deal for $20.

Yeah, I told the wife about the "Ax Mob" patch and what it meant and she laughed. She said I was a "Bush-Nerd" because only such a person would say "look I took this old ax and made it new again" and know others that thought it was a cool enough idea to make "colors" for the club. LOL

Heres what a almost new Plumb looks like, got it yard saleing, still has some of the sticker on the handle too.

Yours looks totally intacct, no root grubbing done with it.

A small flat on the end of the haft would not effect the handling of the haft at all.
