Hi all!
A friend in Illinois sent me what he called a very large old "camp axe', but when I received it today, I realize it is put together like a very large tomahawk. It looks to be forged. The blade width is 5 3/4 inches, the length from edge to back end is 8 1/4 inches. The handle is obviously hand made of dark brown hard wood and 31 inches long There are no visible maker's marks, rather a good coating of rust (only some of which I was able to remove). I'll try to get a pic up tomorrow. I've never seen a large 'axe' made like this. Is this something anyone else has seen or heard of? Thanks!
