Master Mechanic (Crown Pattern) - Vintage Double Bit Axe - 3.5lbs & best 36in

best Simple and effective. This describes the restoration process, and the utility of the axe itself.


Our Process:
The hickory handle is a smooth 220 grit, finished with tung oil for water resistance and durability. It's grippy without being tacky, and wicks away moisture without getting slick.

The head has been cleaned up with a course wire wheel, to remove rust and old paint without removing the character of the underlying steel. The edges have been sanded to 400 grit and then satined, and razor sharp apple seed edges have been added for superior cutting and edge retention.


Our Guarantee:
It's not as pretty as it was when it was new, but I guarantee that it has a better edge and infinitely more street (forest?) cred.


The Tangibles:
Brand - Master Mechanic
Head - Crown Pattern
Head Finish - Satined Edges, Wire Wheel on the rest
Weight - 3.5lbs
Wedge - Cherry
Handle - 36" Hickory
Handle Finish - 220 grit, sealed with Tung Oil
