Here in NorthWest Pennsylvania at garage-sales, estate-sales and junk-shops the average price of an old USA-made axe/hatchet head is about $3-$4, figured from buying dozens of axes or just axe-heads over the last 5-10 years.
I started this thread because I keep seeing people asking about what new axe they should by for $100 give or take, and I just can't wrap my head around it. I am sure some people spend hundreds on a new axe, and I am sure none of them are any better quality than the many axe heads that can be had laying around for pocket-change.
So maybe in many parts of the country, North America or the planet old axe heads are hard to find and are much more expensive than in my region. If you have any data for your area please post it up. Thank-you.
