Doing some restorations right now, as well as enjoying some ones I finished up.



First is a Hudson bay Collins, seconds an unnamed hatched stamped "U.S.A"
Thirds a roofing hatchet I plan on modifying into a gransfors bruks style chopper, gonna remove the poll and reshape the edge

I almost forgot this one too.
Somebody didn't know what they were doing

That's axe abuse mad
Gonna cut it at the bottom of that chip and just use it as a nessmuk style belt hatchet.

My father was working all the time to provide for the family and myself while i was growing up. Needless to say, he didn't have a lot of time to take me outdoors, but when he did I appreciated the heck out of it. As a younger lad i played a lot of video games and sat inside. Now that I have a job, (and thankfully a bit of money to spend on toys) I find that i want to do things, or make things in reality. I just started trapping last year, and I am in the process of starting to renovate axes as well. Living in the middle of nowhere, I need a place to get wood for axe handles. Anyone know of a good company that makes axe handle blanks?


New trapper looking to learn.

you're a lucky man...
Neeman himself is supposed to have a new company called "autine" I heard, nonetheless both companies are still great, now go scratch it up and show us how it does grin

I would never waste a penny of my money on an Autine axe. The quality isn't there for the price. I would buy a Neeman. They should never be confused with each other.


don't worry over the smart ones. catch the dumb ones, they pay the same.

i can do it because i dont know that i cant.

I got it second hand, but the guy before me had never once used it. Was scared to mark it up, so I saved quite a bit on it...

Certainly a bit heavier than my gransfors axe, but I am hesitant to actually use it lol. It's just so...pretty lol

I have seen quality issues a few times. Their handles are very poor along with other issues. This is totally unexceptable at the prices charged. John Neeman company was a partnership and Autine is what came after the falling out.

That's cool. Thanks for the info Dale. I will sure keep that in the back of my head when I'm digging around in flea markets.

didn't know what you were talking about till I got one a few days ago, its still in the process of being restored but it looks like it has a nice thin bit on it, probably will make a good chopper.

I just purchased this from a guy in Canada, he spent a few years in Finland and this is his last one for sale.

It should arrive between today and Monday.
Now I have to make a handle out of birch.
