Thanks guys, sorry for being slow to reply, been a busy week. Basically thought they are mostly just small chopping axes. I don't have a specific purpose for them yet as I already have a few axes that I use. It's more a case of bringing a sad old rusty axe head back to life for the pleasure of doing it and putting it back into service. I might eventually sell them on, dunno yet. So as for purpose I guess just general useage for trimming small branches off, pointing up small stakes, chopping kindling for the fire either in the woods or at home for the wood burner etc. I am aware of not using fast running grinders that will destroy the temper. I am reasonably good with a file, sharpening stones and strops etc so the advice I need is mainly about reshaping a well worn edge. Some have been badly abused and are worn more on one edge where they have hit hard surfaces etc or just wrongly sharpened in the past. I'll try to get some photos on here.
