Evidently not. Last year, I was told at a local hardware store that the "True American" line was being phased out. All the "True American" shovels are now gone from that store, but some "True American" axes are still there as unsold stock. As mentioned earlier, the Ames True Temper website no longer lists them.Don't they still make the true American line of axes ?

Yeah, it would be the end of another iconic axe brand. No more True Temper axes being made in the USA, and apparently they are not being made anywhere.That sucks.
Well then I guess there are only a few left now.Yeah, it would be the end of another iconic axe brand. No more True Temper axes being made in the USA, and apparently they are not being made anywhere.
Good to hear. I bid on several double bits but was always out bid by a fair amount. (I didn’t want to go over $20 including shipping). I figured it would be the same story with this one but I was the only bidder. This made me start to think it may be low quality.Oh no. A FSS stamped True Temper will not be junk. No where close.
User quality has little bearing on price in today’s used axe market. And it seems in most cases the more you pay the less you get. I would have thought that the FSS stamp would have kicked the price of that one up a little though.Good to hear. I bid on several double bits but was always out bid by a fair amount.

it looks pretty good. if you're going for a longer handle, keep in mind you're sacrificing a portion of your chopping power every time you move the balance back, more and more energy will transfer to your hands. in theory anyway[/QUOTE
I was glad to find zero evidence of any grinding on the head. It’s 3.5 lbs. what would you think the “standard” handle length should be. I was thinking 30”-36”.
i thought it was a cruiser, nevermind what i said anywhere from 28 to 36 is fine
Stupid question. Is handle length the overall length or from the bottom of the head down.
