A few boot market buys.

[Hugo]

How about these Three for the grand sum of £3.00.

The SAK now has new scales along with it's sister.
The bone handled one is now the property of SHMBO.
The pearl (looking ) handled one needs some work on it to make it shiny.

Boot markets, Don't you just love em.

 

[Minotaur]

Is that a genuine Sak?

Looks like a Huntsman, in which case nice find. Paid over £20 for mine.

 

[Radix lecti]

Tidy lot you have there,good find.

 

[Hugo]

Yes it is a real SAK and is a Huntsman.
This is Last Sundays finds for the princely sum of £2.00

I'm well pleased with the axe it cleaned up nicely, and I needed some good files.http://i806.photobucket.com/albums/yy345/Brighthealmstone/Bushcraft/WoodAxe003.jpg

Today's bootmarket buys.
AS I went out the door this morning I said to my wife, don't worry I'll not be bringing any more axes home as we have Seven of them.
I'm not usually one to break a promise BUT, at £1.50 for a Cornelius Whitehouse of Cannock made in 1942 axe, the head probably weighs a little over 4 pounds OK the handle is rotten with woodworm.
Have a look.

The large hammer was also £1.50 going to use it with the anvil.
Going to re handle them both with skip found oak.
