| Video Discription | Today's vintage axe restoration has been a long time coming. I've been waiting to restore this axe since I picked it up from a tool sale about a year and a half ago. I wanted to be able to show this restoration to my viewers, so it had to wait its turn, but the time has come. Today I will remove the head without cutting it off, clean, oil, resharpen the head, and re hang it back onto the original handle. This axe is a Collins Legitimus 3 1/4 lb Connecticut pattern axe, from possibly around the 1930's, on a slim and curvy 28 inch vintage hickory handle. It's super sexy and is definitely one of the more valuable axes in my collection, being a great American made axe by Collins, and one of their more sought after lines, Legitimus. The Connecticut pattern is very popular for is cutting ability due to its thin blade profile, wide bit, and gradual slope from the pole to the heal. All-in-all this is a beautiful axe, and one that I'm extremely happy to be able to restore and use for years to come.
