Great thread guys, I see where Dan has shown off a good deal of his axes, I read the whole thread start to finish, lots of very nice axes in here. I have a few including a couple that were made in a foundry in this, province, an old factory based in Oxford N.S. in its latter years where it was all hand forged far as the history I have on it. All through my younger years working in the woods the local lads all coveted a Blenkhorn double bit ax from Oxford, the most wanted was the BC model called the Blenkhorn Chief. I got mine passed on down to me from my grandfather and I have my dad`s as well. Dad was a handle maker and I carried many a butt stem of ash out of the woods for him to make handles for all hand held tools from peavy`s to axe and hammer handles he made a good many, same as oars for row boats. Dan had pics of my axe he was thinking of posting on here but maybe he never got around to it. When the weather clears up I will take some pics and post them but my axes are not refurbished or restored just as in used condition ,handmade handles and all.
