double bit

So rather than flood the Nessmuk trio thread with my random ADHD thoughts and fiddling about with this tool I figured I'd start my own. Fist some details on the tool from the man himself. From Woodcraft and Camping by Nessmuk the hatchet especially, being the best model I have ever found for...

Hello all, I found an old double bit axe in my grandpas tack room. It was covered in heavy rust and it’s been well used. I was wanting to clean it up a little and re hang it. It would be really cool to own an axe my grandpa actually used. I found some stamping some it but I can’t make it out and...

I figured I would sell a few sharps I had laying around to try to help @gohammergo in his career transition. If any of my prices seem out of line, feel free to let me know. Payment can be sent either directly to gohammergo, or I can act as an intermediary and forward the funds on to him if the...

I stumbled upon a couple axes at a flea market the other day and picked up a Sager ($12) and a mystery axe ($5) for $17 total. I’ll post a couple of pictures below. I am having trouble identifying what this axe is exactly [the Sager] and the year. I would REALLY love to know the year! I’ll be...

Got this little saddle axe head in a bucket of heads a little while back. Appears that someone along the line decided to make the grub side a "little more obvious" I guess would be one way of putting it. Possibly a chipped bit and they decided to regrind it. Regardless it works well for...

I've had this double bit pack axe for few years now but was afraid to sharpen it because I didn't have a way to keep it safe without a sheath to protect the blade. This weekend I made one. I didn't have a pattern so I just kinda guessed and it came out pretty good. I made some mistakes, remember...

Looking for a straight trade. I have a very nice Plumb double marked for the forest service. It is sharp and ready for a handle. Looking for a cruiser, preferably stamped, although a Kelly would be great as well.

Hello, I bought 3 3/4 pound double bit axe a while ago for three bucks. Anyway I hung it on my wall to be restored later. Now I am in the middle of restoring it and I saw markings that I never saw before. It says GAB beneath a crown with a circle around it and beneath that it says made in...

I know OutdoorEnvy just posted about his favorite axe, a Plumb double bit. About the same time as his post I found an old double bit in the basement of this barn. Coincidence? My son and I were playing in the basement of the barn amongst some old milk crates when I kicked something heavy... a...

At least I think I scored. I went to an antique store this morning and grabbed this baby for $10! I couldn't get a good enough picture of the markings on it for you guys, but it says "Vaughan Super Steel" and above that it has the number 4 which must roughly correspond to weight. The actual...
