dob, the one stamped US. Is that military issue? Who made it? I saw 2 axes marked the same US at flea market this week. Didn't buy them. US Forest service marks all their stuff "US", If it was "GI" it would be green.

I bought one of the books on the the above site: axes and associated hand tools. Excellent book! Has a vast amount of line drawings and info. A+

Due to scheduling, the wife and I exchanged gifts. She got me a Gransfors Bruks splitting maul. Man, this thing is gorgeous. The thought they put into the handle, metal collar, etc is a work of art.
I'll still use my Husqvarna maul as my go-to. Just did about 2 cords of oak for a neighbor. He saw how I moved through it and says he's getting one now. My wife bought me a GB splitting maul a few years ago... For father's day IIRC. I'm on the tall side. So a tad longer handle would suit me better. But other than that I have no complaints. It is a well-made implement. Mine was forged by Matthias Blich. Mike

After ~ 36 hours of electrolysis. Took it out once in the evening and in morning to quickly hit it with a wire brush. Doubt I spent more than 2 minutes doing that total. I put back in just to clean out the areas with the mechanic parts. Before After
