A friend gave this to me a while back, and I just got around to doing something with it. It's now a work in progress, that has actually started making progress. This may be an ongoing thread.
I guess he was a bit rough on it.

And here it is after a bit of work.

That'll cut now!

These late model Mann era Collins axes tend to be flat-cheeked. A radial grind actually works prettty well with those. Still, I might take the edge back another 1/8" in the center. I think it would chop better.
Thanks for the input. I might try that later.
