Hi Guys.

Got some surplus axe heads for sale that i recently acquired from the US. I got a few in a trade (english axes for american axes) I've picked out the couple i want so am offering the others for sale. They are all in used but decent condition. They will need re helving and the edge sorting out. Couple of small dings on one of them but nothing major.

Top two are 2 1/2lb "cruiser" axes ( as used by Dick Proenneke to build his cabin)
The top is made by plumb and is a bit shorter and thicker than the bottom one which is unmarked.
The eyes are sound, and other than needing a good sharpen they are fine.

£50 each inc postage.

ALL 3 NOW SOLD PP







This next one is a Norlund early pattern tomahawk. Though its quite a bit heavier than any tomahawk i've come across before weighing in at 1038 grams. Imo it would make a good 3/4 axe or one similar to the GB SFA. Based on below info, they had 24" handles.
Norlund are pretty legendary in the axe world. They made some of the best axes about. Info on them here

Those are about as rare as hen's teeth Mark - lovely axes - I'm sure they will be snapped up!
