3x vintage small axes Made in ENGLAND

[spader]

Hi All

Selling these 3x small vintage axes found in the shed. They are made in ENGLAND maybe 50 - 100 years ago perhaps by ELWELL or BRADES, but cannot read the makers name maybe due to rust? Have not cleaned them up.

Gave light sharpening with file, and they got very sharp. The original wooden handles were loose when found, so I put some nails to secure, and they seem work well, but ideally they could do with new handles sometime in the future.

Would work great for making kindles, wood carving or general camping work. Full of character, light and small and yet can get scary sharp if sharpened properly.

Asking price £30 ==> £25 for the 1st and the third one lot, ===> SOLD
the middle one ==> SOLD By ordering these items, the buyer proves over 18 of age. cheers.

Remaining 2x for 30 or each one at the price.

Bump with price drop. £25 for the 1st and 3rd lot, or £15 for the 1st one, and £12 for the right most one.

The two remaining axes are lovely Kent patterns. Good for carvers, but not so good for splitting. I like them a lot, but I have one already.

Yup spot on, they carve very well. Better with thicker heads for splitting I agree. But still good for making small kindlings.

yup, they are all good, but especially the first axe cuts and carves hardest woods like a razor going through hot butter, and keeps that sharp edge forever. I was very impressed and tempted to keep it for my carving projects, but then I have got more old tools left lying around in the shed by previous owners of the house, who used to be a wood carver. Please watch out for more nice tools for sale from me in the near future. Thanks for info in fb by the way.
