The Axe & Edge Tool Co. UK based edge tool refurbishment. Vintage tools sourced and restored to a high quality. Intended to be used and maintained for lifetimes to come.

Restoration of edge tools including rust removal, cleaning, reprofiling of edge bevel, sharpening, rehanging onto hand carved Ash handle and appropriate wedge(s), initial handle treatment (generally tung oil) and advice on how best to use and care for your tool. I am happy to source old and vintage tools to suit your requirements and undertake their restoration. Alternatively, I can take a look at what you have and discuss how best to proceed. All jobs are unique and specialized to suit the clients needs and wishes. I am a users and collectors and understand the working life of a tool, and the relationship that can build up between the owner and their hardware. I aim to facilitate that pleasure by supplying you with high quality, hand crafted restorations intended for proper use and proper care. Why buy cheap, modern tools that will not hold an edge when you can have some classic vintage / quality steel that will last lifetimes? With proper care, they will out live you! Why buy new when you can buy better than new?

Customer commission. Sold.

French forest, light felling head made by the Talabot company, from the Saint Juéry forges. 35” hand carved European Ash handle with a grain matched laminated Ash palm swell.

Ash on Ash laminated palm swells mitigate waste when using slim stock Ash. Enables the use of 27mm Ash boards but the laminate means you can have a 45mm across palm swell.

This is a wall hanger for the customer so we settled on a non-traditional handle design. Exaggerating the shoulder and palm swells.
