Restored True Temper Boys Axe

This vintage True Temper Boys Axe has been fully restored and carefully reconditioned to honor the original craftsmanship of its maker. The head has been honed to a fine working edge while preserving the distinctive True Temper maker’s mark, which remains clearly visible on the steel.

The American hickory handle has been custom-finished with a light stain, subtle burn treatment, and sealed with linseed oil and axe wax for long-term protection, grip, and natural luster. Its 24-inch length provides a versatile, balanced feel—ideal for controlled work or display.

Each restoration includes a handmade, full-grain leather edge cover crafted by @dryflyleathergoods—a rugged, timeless complement to the restored steel.

A functional heirloom for collectors, outdoorsmen, or anyone who values a well-made tool with history and character.

Use + Care

• This axe arrives razor-sharp, so use with intention, keep the swing path clear, and wear proper safety gear.
• After use, wipe the head clean and dry, store indoors, and avoid prolonged exposure to rain, snow, or damp conditions. Refresh protection as needed with an occasional coat of War Wax (or a similar topical protectant) on both the tool head and handle to help prevent rust and keep the wood conditioned.
