This EXTREMELY rusty axe head is a ground find while metal detecting in Norway. I got it from my friend about 2 years ago. I was not sure for a long time what to do until this restoration video. I needed an axe/hatchet to use in the shop and trips into the woods. Carrying around 3.5 lb, was too much, therefore I reduced the weight to 1.65 lb by cutting the axe head by hand.
About The Axe Head
As I mentioned this axe was dug out from the ground in Norway. It looks really old and the shape indicated similarity with the well known Mustad axe. Unfortunately, it is not a Mustad axe. So, it is perfect in a way for this project. Other than that, I really don’t know much about this axe head. I haven’t found any markings.
The Restoration/Modification Process
I started by cutting the axe head by hand after marking the desired shape. The next step was to grind the rust and see what is under. Finding out that the pittings are quite deep was not what I was looking for. I wanted to make this axe head like a mirror finish, now that is impossible. Anyway, I continued grinding on a finer wet stone until I got a nice smooth surface.
To get even sides, I file and sand the axe head, chamfer the edges. And I was ready to start making the handle. For this project I used an accoya wood. I have never worked with it in this manner, so that was really interesting. It is very easy to cut, shape and it seems super rigid and lightweight.
After finishing the handle, I started making the leather sheath for the axe head. I used brown leather and made a very simple sheath. I didn’t want to complicate the design, since I am working with the leather for the first time.
Finally, I applied the Teak oil to the handle after carving the simple shape. I tested the axe outside to see performance. I am very satisfied, it is not too heavy or too light. Cuts the tree perfectly.

Owning an axe head that dates to around 1830, I would have de rusted before cutting it. Blacksmiths of that period did not always mark their work but it is always worth looking. A very nice job.

Hours spent cutting besides attending to other parts of my job. I thought my arms were going to fall off.. The sheer effort you put into your tasks make them even more watchable. Well done.

Very well done! Loved the leatherwork too. I love the pits in it. It looks like it saw action long in the past.😊 Just curious....what are you going to make out of the left over axe piece? A pick maybe?😊🐝❤

Thanks Lachlan, I do have most of the modern tools that I use around the house. I just don't use them in my videos where I want to create a 19th century atmosphere. I really enjoy the exercise, fun and gained skills and experience without power tools.

Full-blown Luddite here. What your restorations may lack in fossil-fueled CNC precision, fit, and finish it makes up for in everything else. Don't get me wrong. I like the other restoration sites where they lathe, mill, power tool, powder coat and weld everything in sight to museum quality perfection. But there is something aesthetic and personal missing from their work. Not here. As a side bar, back in the 60s my metal shop teacher in Junior High School used sawing blocks of hardened aluminum ingots as punishment. Back when men were men and boys were punished for minor infractions.

Another disfigured old ax. Why use an 18th century artifact when almost nothing is left of it? It was better to take any piece of iron from scrap metal. There are no complaints about the quality of work, hands grow from the right place.
