We are a pair of guys from a small town in the mountainous portion of Maryland. We take old axes and tools and clean them up, usually putting a new handle on them, and then resell them. Why do we do this? Well, like with many other modern conveniences, the regular buying public has sought out the cheapest and most convenient way of obtaining and using tools. In response, tool companies have sought out cheaper and cheaper means of providing these tools. For most people, disposable tools are enough and they really don't know the difference. For others who need tools to last, a modern hardware store axe will just not cut it. Common modern axes lose their edge very easily, if they ever had one to begin with. The metal is soft and easily damaged and the tool itself is neither interesting nor a thing to take real pride in. There is something special about a tool that works the way it is supposed to and won't let you down while at the same time being a survivor of decades of rust and hard use. There's just a level of coolness and quality there that is hard to find in new tools.
As a rule of thumb, we make a sheath for any product we think would need a sheath, so even if there isn't a sheath pictured with the item, it likely will come with one.
