I finished this one up yesterday. 2 1/4lb dayton pattern head with nice convex cheeks. I gave it a convex grind and a more aggressive bevel angle that ended up around 22 degrees. Overall its 27" and 3lbs total which is ideal for me in a camp axe. I knew it would be a good all arounder but wanted to test edge retention and see how it chopped so I swung it for a few hours yesterday after work. Its a monster. With the convex grind, I could get away with taking the bevel down to 18-20 degrees, but the edge retention is so good it would be dumb to alter it, especially for an axe that isn't a dedicated chopper.
