Ukranian tools? My experience and some thoughts
I have a number of Ukranian tools, and they are really hot and miss. For example my carving tools from Beavercraft are great. Anything I bought that isn’t “branded” and run by an established company is a real crapshoot.
For example, a convex ground drawknife, and two froes are each pretty poor quality.
From what I’ve seen there are a huge number of tool sellers from Ukraine that offer very similar or the same product at different price points. This makes me suspicious that there is drop shipping, out of country origin, or other shenanigans going on.
The price point on Ukranian axes has prevented me from trying them out, I’d like to get ahold of something by strongway/Kharkiv Forge, Swaytbor, as I think those are all the same company.
Anybody have experience to share?

I’m UrbanLumberjack on YouTube
Hello! Introducing myself here, im urban lumberjack on YouTube. Wanted to see if Reddit was a beneficial place to engage with people who are also passionate about axes, and firewood, etc. YouTube makes it hard to have a dialogue with people and I’m hoping to fix that by joining a community of axe users in Reddit.

Hand forged bearded throwing axe
Forged from scrap railroad track with a curved hickory handle. No Palm swell so it flooded out of the hand easier. This is going to be a Christmas gift for my new brother in law once it gets a sheath

Collins fire axe
I came across this fire axe while antique shopping and now I'm wondering if I should have bought it. I read online that this pattern is somewhat rare?

Säter Banco what type of axe?
Hey! Anyone who knows what purpose an axehead like this serves? Also curious why it's "Banco" instead of the usual "Banko"
Thanks!

Rust
Can anyone tell me a reliable way to remove rust off of an axe head. I have a double sided axe that I am looking to restore and I do not know any proper ways to remove rust. Every method I see gets contradicted by another and I do not know which one I should do.

First few splits with Colin’s 6lbs maul. Splits like a maul, but swings like an axe.
Got a new 6lbs maul. It’s lighter than a usual maul, but I’m splitting mostly smaller rounds so it’s a delight!
