 Hand forged in Billnäs Bruks circa 1920 - 1940, in Billnäs Finland. Located in Sweden and imported to the K.A. shop where Dave has restored and refaced this example of one of Billnäs Bruks most beloved model, the 12-3. Endeared for generations throughout Scandinavia becuase of its smaller size and yet hugely productive heft. Further hand work by Dave included the following: poll was refaced and the collar squared and resurfaced prior to stripping, giving the head a two-tone finish, done by wire stripping and buffing.

 

Shipped up to Quebec, this axe was given a beautiful hand fabricated 22" white ash haft by axe specialist Emile Bournival. Striped and capped with a light blue/gray handle detail for a further nod to the Finnish origins of this piece, it is now ready for a new lifetime of use. A hand fabricated leather snap sheath was also custom made specficaly for this axe while in Quebec to protect the hair popping sharp edge. 

 

Details of this head include original Billnäs Bruks proof marks and 12/3 model stamp markings, and now Chop logo’d. From Finland to Sweden, and now into the USA...how many lives has this thing touched and what work has it done? Truly a generational piece! A piece of Heritage - 22” OAL
