Vintage True Temper Tommy Axe Hatchet has been completely restored, refinished, and is razor sharp. Head shows normal signs of use and is in very good condition – no cracks, breaks, or repairs. The number 1384 has been inadvertently etched into the head through my cleaning and de-rusting process. Clean stamp on the front of the head has a few weak letters, but is all there and legible; see pics for actual details.
New curly hickory handle has been dyed black and adds some pop to the figuring. Handle has been HAND-SHAPED, hand sanded, soaked in Odie’s Oil, and hand-rubbed for a clean, smooth look and feel. Clean seal around top and bottom of eye and hung with a hardwood wedge – handle sticks out from head approximately 3/16”.
Comes with a 9/10 ounce English bridle leather sheath(s) that has been treated with leather conditioning oil. The sheath has been assembled with solid brass burr rivets that have been hand peened for a traditional hammered look and has a solid brass Sam Browne button stud closure.
