>>921838Does the 2nd bold(at 10 o'clock on that picture) loosen, or have a spring lock on it? I would think its there to allow the blade to pivot so the tool is a straight line, so it can act as a breaking bar/scrapper. Either way, its kinda stupid since the shoulder makes it useless for anything other than splitting, and probably adds 3x as much weight as a comparable axe.
>>918699 hereupdate on my axe. Head was soaked for 4 days in vinegar, and i took a brass wire brush to it, along with some WD40 as lubricant and to stop any rusting. Now it looks like this.(not quite as nice as my other one on the left of the quoted pic. Heads a bit more dinged up.)
Anyone know what the numbers signify? Theres also an "X" on the underside behind the eye
