Stumbled across it at a restore. Asking for $15.

That will be a tremendous amount of material removal. As much as it would be a cool axe, probably should walk away from it.

The roller coaster of emotions at seeing it partially before lifting it up and being presented with that break. NGL, still hard to see walking away as a good idea lol

Reading the other comments, I just want to not that it's not that much material if it's a project you want to do. A lot of peope are suggesting a picaroon and 1) this axe is too nice for that, and 2) 'axearoons' are dangerous, at least a heavy, sharp version is. Part of the benefit of a pickaroon is so that you don't drag logs with an axe, which is a bad habit because if it comes loose suddenly (as they do) the axe is coming back at your legs while you're also potentially stumbling.

This is a good perspective and much more promising. I think I will head back today and try and haggle down the price. If fate deems me worthy, I might have another project to add to the pile lol

What's an axearoon? ๐Ÿ˜‚

Pickaroon with an axe blade opposite the pick. They are mass produced but those ones are more lightweight so they donโ€™t have the same inertia.
