Vintage unmarked single-bit axe featuring pronounced phantom bevels on both cheeks. The head has a broad cutting edge and substantial poll, with an attractive older forged profile.
The axe is fitted with a new old stock 24” Rixford marked wood handle. The Rixford marking applies to the handle only; no maker’s marking was found on the axe head.
The head shows normal age, surface pitting, grind marks, and wear from previous use. Cutting edge has been sharpened. Handle shows light storage/handling marks consistent with old stock.
A solid vintage axe with an unusual phantom-bevel head and a desirable Rixford marked handle.
