How to Handle Finnish Collared Axe with Snake Head Wedge

Video shows how to handle collared axe with wooden wedge. Old axes typically have asymmetrical eyes and this style enables large mushroom expanding to all directions. In case handle gets broken, it is easy to replace in the field without special tools. Videossa varrestetaan suomalainen kirves.

Usually people say hang an axe head not handle but nice video 👍

Okay, good to know, thanks. In Finnish it is vice versa.

Thank you. Where can I find an old original Finnish axe Billnas ?

[@Navertaja]

E.g. here www.tori.fi/koko_suomi?q=kirves&cg=0&w=3&xtatc=INT-166 or www.huuto.net/haku?words=kirves . Most - at least 9/10 - are typically in poor condition so you most likely need to search for good one a while.
