I used cold blue and water to get a case hardened effect. It definitely pops more in person.

thid is cold blue too!Learned a new technique for thinning behind the edge. I wish I had taken a before picture.
Just for fun, I also hit it with some blue paint. Trying to be like Hulks Bruks, haha! This axe originally had blue paint anyway.
Funny enough, this axe is my best chopper by far. It was a rusty mess when I got it. It's made in China. No idea of the brand, unless the brand is "Ox", but I think that is just someone's initials.

been watching their youtube channel for several months !The race to 100 axes. A father/son duo out of Thailand have been posting in Axe Junkies fb group their amazing collection of axes with hand carved exotic wood handles. Died and gone to heaven.

Really people, please top this. I would really like to know how thick axes were from earlier times in america, europe and around the world. I am also interested in today's working axes!(Dont mind the "Cross", thats another one of my older Axes)

Probably the thinnest blade on an axe in this thread, top that.![]()
You have some fine, hardly-swung keepers there. Looks like a minimum amount of work and a lot of fun.More random pics
