KA Heritage Finnish Axe

Original maker's mark, crown logo, and pattern ID present ..... Heritage Chop on the opposite side above brass retention screw (which was a common field expedient fix for a loosening head back in the day).

Probably the most popular Finnish axe pattern, although most were made by the Billnäs Bruks (forge) as Kellokoski wasn't as big an operation (so these are a bit harder to find). This particular mid-century Finnish piece was acquired in Finland via a Swedish web listing. Yes, Dave is random and looks high and low for these things... while making good use of google translator.

Cleaned, stripped with a Refaced poll, hung on a 25" long haft done in a Finnish style with the rounded pommel. White ash handle custom hand fabricated in Quebec by Trinity Boletus along with leather snap sheath. Finnish blue handle paint detail for a little extra flair!
