December 11, 2025Dec 11 Popular Post Well, this one has been sitting outside a while... Was "picked " a few years ago at a garage sale for $2 I think....OEM Handle was trashed, and cracked...so, spent $15 or so on a new handle for it right after I bought the Ax... Been staying outside...decided to bring it in for the winter...clean it up (again)..sharpen the edge a bit better.. 36" handle.. Still has it's Bar Code.... Ax Head is known as a Dayton Pattern....I cleaned all the rust off, gave the bare metal a coat of Red Rustoleum/Primer....then worked on the edge a bit.. Can't shave with it...yet...but it is close to it's little Brother... This one stays IN the shop...and, you can shave arm hair with it...

I haven't seen anything by them in some time, I guess they got swallowed by another company or went under or some other upset. Anything I bought made by them was well made. Nice job on that axe.
