[QUOTE="woodeneye, post: 5072914, member: 122516"] Briar, I own about 20 different axes and have sold them for many years along with my knives. I like to go to antique stores/auctions and buy a rusty (not pitted or chipped though) axe with a good name behind it. Soak it in vinegar overnight or use electrolysis with a battery charger and then hit with a wire brush and sanding disk on my angle grinder. Once finished I go over to househandles.com and buy the appropriate handle to haft it with. It's a cheap way of trying many different styles of heads without breaking the bank. Most heads I buy are $3-5. Handles range from 5-7 bones a piece, cheaper if you don't mind an imperfection. That being said I do love my Husqvarnas and Fiskars for the more modern touch. [/QUOTE]
