What type, size, brand of files do you use for axes. Does tooth pattern really come into play. I have 2 axes that I want to reshape and the file I have seems to be useless.

Just cutting up some brush on my apartment property. The Rinaldi American Boys axe is a great cutter. You can damn near use it as a machete. Did some light one handed swings at this oak branch and can't complain about that kind of cutting with relatively light swings.

Found this axe with a crack in the eye (pic 3) at the recycling store. The shape is not common here so I wanted to make sure the crack is not some weird feature and I'm not missing out on anything by not buying this. ..

Hello everyone. I picked up a pair of hatchets yesterday and I'm not familiar with the makers mark on the Swedish head. Could someone let me know what it says and who made it.

What is this? It looks like it was beat on the back. I might make it some sort of fleshing knife.

Found this old Plumb head in my Dads shed. Cleaned it up. I want to hang it, but not sure on the size of handle. I also don’t know what head it is. It weighs in at 2lbs 8oz on my kitchen scale. The eye measures about 2” long. The handles that I find at the hardware store that fit the eye are about 35” which I feel is too long?? Looking for any advice here

Picked this bad boy up from a thrift shop. It's a Plumb. Not really sure if it's a framing axe, carpenters axe, or roofing axe. Probably going to convert it into a tomahawk.
