Collins axe

[Jacob Nothstine]

Picked up this Collins axe at an Estate sale for $8.00 trying to figure out what kind of axe it is. I think it's a tomahawk axe. It's a full size axe but has a smaller axe head, feel great in the hand. Have to sharpen it up and put it to work.
Thanks, Jacobcollins.jpg

Hatchet/carving?

It is a North woods axe I believe. You got a bargain.

It looks alot like my Mann edge tool co. axe.

Great felling and limbing axe, but a little thin for splitting.
Eight bucks? You suck.

North American axe makers pattern names were all over the map, literally. Axe patterns were adapted to all the various forest types and focused to the region. Many seeming small nuances of design earned a pattern a distinct name. So that pattern looks at root like a French trading axe, a tomahawk, a Hudson Bay cruiser, a cedar axe or even a light weight Rockaway. What the axe was cataloged as might just depend on when and where it was made and who was the targeted buyer.

I have used a Broad Hatchet a little in wood working. Great tool for removing a lot of extra wood fast. Will have to look into the uses of a felling axe. Every time I search it I come up with a new name. Going to get a leather carrier for camping for it.

Mine is a NORLUND. Looks just like yours.
