So it happens I found that old axe we used to clear stumps and indeed there's a maker's mark on it: HB Made in Sweden. I had looked at the favourite hatchet and didn't see a mark, but when I looked again it is the same maker. Really nice axes, very well balanced and good blades.
My Dad must have sharpened this up after the last time we used it, because the blade looks just too good. The handle is another story, you can see the awful shape it's in and it is not the original, I don't know who shaved it up like that but what a contrast to you guys' clean work. Here it is, cobwebs and all.
