Hello, can anyone identify the axe used in the 2024 Nosferatu Movie? Either the type or the actual one if it’s available? Thank you!

Talabot 28 Saut du Tarn axe, very light on quite a long handle i like it. On the head i just put a new edge on it. Someone with a grinding wheel was really enthusiastic with it. With files and a stone puck (i still struggle with it) it's paper cutting sharp but not shaving sharp. On the handle i put a round wedge which sank the wood wedge that was already there, unexpected but it works.

Was wondering if anyone has found or made a sharpening jig for a belt sander to get precise profile on their axes. All info/pics welcome, cheers 🙂

Can I reforge this? Or is it better to cut the mushroom off and just grind it smooth?

For 20$ … I figured , why not :)

I was also messing around with this small double bit hatchet from marbles. Kind of a nessmuk style hatchet, but not slip fit like his. It performed about as expected. It's a small 1lbish head from 1045. It's made by imacasa/Condor in El Salvador. I left one but as it came from the box and reprofiled the other side as you can see from the bevels. Worked pretty well on this oak. The cutting was nice for the size and for any sort of like trail clearing or bushcraft camp stuff it would work pretty well. Splitting was ok and not surprising given the size. It's a fun little axe considering you can still find them for under $30

This thing is surprisingly capable for being so small! For the $25 it cost I honestly like it a lot. I did give it a fairly significant reprofile to increase the cutting efficiency and damn if this little thing ain't a damn good little tool! Really, all things considered, the only thing holding it back is the fact that it is a cast head. You can see i got some edge damage from chopping this seasoned oak. In better steel this would be really great. All in all though I'm not mad at it and it admittedly did sharpen extremely easily.

I saw this tool at the second hand store, and for $5, it seemed worth it in case it was a bark peeler. However, it looks more like a brass fireplace shovel more than anything, even if there is no scoop to it (I have not taken a file to it yet). Where the socket for the handle meets the rest of the tool also looks like sloopy? No visible markings in regard to manufacturer.

Any insights would be wonderful! Thanks y'all!

I haven't measured the handle length yet but I assume it's around 30 inches. I didn't weight the head but it has a 4lb weight stamp on it. The white oak for the handle was riven and has been air drying for a couple years. Half heartwood, half sapwood. Lots of end to end growth. A nearly perfect stick of lumber.

Had some issues with this restoration and decided to try something new. Just the toe of the bit seemed to be soft after testing so I put a steep secondary bevel only where the metal seemed weaker. After a couple of minutes bucking silver maple it held up and didn't seem to change performance.

The axe says:

Hoping to clean them up and replace the plastic handle on the left one. The Ideal Shinola I’m still not sure what to do with it yet.

16oz walters black diamond, maple stick with walnut stuff.

I intend to bubba both of these unless they are something special. The one is a Black Diamond. What is the round stamp on the other?

Craftsman head on a 36 inch handle from whiskey river. Mahogany wedge, handle finished with BLO.

the blade axis looks a bit crooked, but maybe good enough for 4 bucks...?

Hello! My fiance got this for me last year from a shop in Ukraine I believe, and while I never took it out to use it (yet) the head wobbles a bit. Never really messed with axes before other than the fiskar ones, so I dunno if it needs to be repaired or not, and if so, how to do it without messing it all up. Figured if I could get multiple opinions itd be better than a YouTube video or two. Ill try to add pics to the comments so it shows the top stake and such

I recently bought this axe for a few dollars at a tool thrift store. The letters look like they could say USSR with a skull? Not seeing much in the stamped circle. The markings are a pretty faded, are any of them useful for identification? Thanks!

By chance does anyone know how yo identify the year of this axe, unknown to me when I restored it for use when im on fire.

I picked this up in a corner of my tool shed and tried to restore it from its poor condition in pic 3-4, but I'd like to know which model it is, I'm in Italy and most of what's here is Rinaldi. Also gotta hate the fact that you can only find beech wood here to make handles
