This vintage Canadian-made axe has been fully restored and expertly reconditioned to working form. The head features a freshly honed edge while retaining the original “Made in Canada” stamp, carefully preserved to honor the history of its maker.
The American hickory handle has been custom-finished with a light stain, burn treatment, and sealed with linseed oil and axe wax for lasting protection, grip, and performance. The result is a well-balanced, durable piece ready for both use and display.
Each restoration includes a handmade, full-grain leather edge cover crafted by @dryflyleathergoods—a rugged finishing touch that pairs perfectly with the refined steel and grain of the handle.
Ideal for collectors, outdoorsmen, or anyone drawn to the craftsmanship of traditional tools, this restored piece embodies both heritage and function.

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.
