Axes and knives...

[Curly]

I wanted to post this on Paul’s thread about collectibles but it may warrant its own post.
Anyone collect axes or knives? I recently bought a 1930’s double bit Red Rover ax that is the best in my collection. It’s heavier than I like to use but it’s Great Wall art.

This one is headed for the Off Topic and yes i have a few swords to post,,do they count?

[Curly]

I should have put it off topic, thanks.
Yes swords count.

If you are into axes I find 1700-1800's heads all the time. I can send you a pic the next one I find. If you want it just pay for shipping. I leave them up against trees or on fence posts. Too heavy to carry around when I metal detect.

[Curly]

Absolutely! I love that stuff. Thank you.

[Beauford]

I'll let ya know next time I find one. Going to a colonial site soon.

Here is my Corneta machete

The quality of the scabbard looks awesome, so the blade must be also very well done ! Nice piece Mitch.

[Curly]

What’s the history on that machete Mitch?

[Mitch]

Here is some info on them. They used to be made in Germany but now they are based in El Salvador
Mine is quite old

[Mitch]

I have a German Bayonet just like this one.
i think it's in the storage trailer at work

I have 3 Bayonets in my "Craftsman tool box", my Pa gave me, but I think there all American made. Pics later if I remember, having a bit of trouble with that these days, because its just plain easier to forget.

[pAAt]

Not sure one era or maker now, but they have been in my Dad's tool box since it was new or close to it.

[Mitch]

That is a nice collection
You can search pictures on google to figure them out

[pAAt]

I think I figured out right now, why they have the little ball at the bottom of the scabbard and it's not for decoration.

[Mitch]

why??

[pAAt]

I'm thinking to keep the chances of gouging your leg to a minimum..... or the horse ? Mitch you got me doubting myself again. Anyone know for sure ? I won't get any sleep tonight again, oops best not sleep tonight anyway, I'll be driving tractor till the we hours. Pat
