I am now working on a axe recently brought back from France. It weighs in at 3 pounds with a 14" blade, a type of T-axe, it is very thin and has rust pits on the nearly flat back. It can receive a handle from either end of the eye. I have cleaned it up with a stone enough to test the steal, I am satisfied enough to proceed and take it on with a belt sander to bring the back clean once more. This head not only was pitted but it had flakes wanting to come off. If this cleans up I feel it will be well worth the effort applied.
